Water In Antarctica

Water

Water is blue,
It doesn’t stick like glue.
People swim in it,
But it can also throw a fit.
Fishing is fun,
And it doesn’t require a gun.
You can sail,
But your ship can fail.
The fresh sea air blows on your face,
And it also can slow your pace.
The sea covers most of the land,
The water eroding rocks sounds like a band.
Niagara Falls goes swish!
But you won’t find any fish.
The winds are in a gale,
But at least they won’t throw you over the rail.
There are floating stores,
But they are not moved to shore.
Antarctica is cold,
But people who venture it are bold.
Water is like gold,
But it can

    In the article “Hot Spots in a Freezing Ocean Offer lessons in Climate Change” talks about how climate change can affect the animals in Antarctica. Gail V.

    Often times we talk to individuals about their favorite vacation spot or where the place they feel the most at rest is; the response we get most often is the ocean. This is because the ocean is restorative. The quiet roar of the waves, the sound of seagulls chirping, the salty breeze, the ocean is a place of peace. For many the sea is not just a vacation destination, but the sea is a friend. Something that is consistent, and always listening.…

    When I look around, all I see is the endless blue sea. Sorry, I couldn’t write a letter to you faster, but I could not write on the boat. On the boat, everyday it was the same thing all over and over. The blue sea stretched for over 100 billion miles in every direction, that was the only thing we saw and nothing else. The blatant smell of saltwater is all we could smell, together with the acrid taste of moldy bread is the only thing we tasted.…

I can hear the distant scream of a seagull and the crashing of waves against the sand. I can taste the air that is concentrated with a salty beauty; despite the bitter after taste, it is somewhat pleasant. The beach is a sensory overload of virtuosity and creativity.…

    But once I got out there in the water I would gradually start to love the ocean. Each time I would get braver and go out further, as my mom sat on the beach and watch my brother and I closely. The farther out I would go the water would get this magnificent blue; for allowing you to see all types of beautiful sea shell with all sorts of colors in them, the tropical fish reminded me of the movie Finding Nemo, little pale pieces of sand dollars washed up in the waves on the banks. The sand resemble of…
