The Explanation For My Illustration

Title - The Ice Caps Must Remain in the Arctic- The Big Thaw Must Not Happen

It is not a surprise that the Global Warming is melting the world’s glaciers and Ice-caps. But no one expected it to happen this fast.

Since early 1960s, mountain glaciers around the world have experienced an estimated net loss of over 4, ooo cubic kilometres of water; this loss was more than twice as fast during the 1990s as in the previous decades. According to experts, 4 degree Celsius rise in average global temperatures would cause nearly all of the world’s glaciers to melt.

Ice is part of the biology of every creature that lives in this frozen vastness. So, human beings should think twice of what they have done because they are the ones who attribute to Global Warming. This will not only save all the creatures that live in Arctic but also save the World’s, our mother nature.

I was given a task to complete the assignment by doing the illustration of the area I chose from the theme- Global Warming. Based on the illustration, I was trying to say that there is still hope for us or human being to save the Ice-Caps from melting and help “them” to continue to remain in this world. Look at the illustration; I had been illustrating the view of some remaining Ice-Caps in the Arctic. Although the Ice-caps are already undergoing the melting process, but yet there are still Ice-Caps. The difference is just the size of the Ice-Caps is smaller compared to before. Therefore, there are still some Ice Caps remaining in the Arctic and I believe some Ice- Caps have not been affected by Global Warming, why don’t we try to protect them? The remaining of the Ice- Caps illustrated in the illustration give the impression that there is still hope and chance for human beings to be aware of the effects brought about by Global Warming. Even the remaining Ice-Caps also metaphor that they still have a strong will to remain; they still want to play an important role in maintaining the temperature of the Planet Earth.

On the illustration, I decided to put my symbol of Awareness from the previous assignment. The Symbol with title” Save the Ice- Caps, Means Save the World” is creating a strong awareness for all the people who see it. The Ice-Cap metaphor is suffering because it is melting. And, all this happened because of Global Warming.

In conclusion, I wished to emphasize the meaning of my illustration by saying that we must stop the melting of Ice-Caps and must not let this big thaw to happen starting from now. This will ensure the Ice-Caps will continue to remain in this World together with all its co-existing creatures and wildlife.
