Remember at the end of March when I featured the story about Dutch artist Ap Verheggen and the abstract Inuit dog sled sculpture he placed on an iceberg near Western Greenland’s Uummannaq Island? The goal was to draw attention to global warming by tracking the sculpture’s drift and eventual submersion as the iceberg melted. On June 2, the artist reported something had happened to the GPS. They no longer had a signal from the iceberg and wondered on their blog what happened, a technical glitch with the device?
THEY COULD NOT BELIEVE THAT THE ICEBERG HAD MELTED! BUT IT WAS GONE IN A MATTER OF WEEKS!!!
