West Antarctic Ice

Famous quotes containing the words west and/or ice:

    Fiction reveals truths that reality obscures.
    —Jessamyn West (1902–1984)

    Like the water, the Walden ice, seen near at hand, has a green tint, but at a distance is beautifully blue, and you can easily tell it from the white ice of the river, or the merely greenish ice of some ponds, a quarter of a mile off.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
