    After living on foreign land for almost three years the prospect of returning to Iceland fills me with excitement. I am tasked with the job of convincing new settlers to join me on the new land called Greenland. As I walk onto the shores of the land that was once home to me I am flooded with the familiar feeling of the land. Over the next few months I convinced many more people to join me on Greenland. 25 ships will now accompany me on the journey back to Greenland with over 500 passengers. Many of these people had faced similar troubles to my father and I upon our arrival in Iceland, having difficulty finding farming land or space to…

    There are many functions of any court system. The primary function of the criminal courts in society is to help keep domestic peace. Criminal court is one of the major components of the criminal justice system. When an arrest is made it is the judge and prosecutor who are in charge of deciding what punishment will be sufficient as well as if it is necessary to take the case to trial (Steven Barkan, Law and Society: An Introduction, 279-280. Pearson Education, Inc. 2009). If everything works as it is intended to work, those who are guilty will be found guilty, those who are innocent will be found innocent, and it will not be determined by the defendant’s social class, race/ethnicity, or gender (Steven Barkan, Law and Society: An Introduction, 279-280. Pearson Education, Inc. 2009). Unfortunately, just like most things, the criminal court system is not void of flaws. There are still innocent people that are found guilty and guilty people who are found innocent. There have even been innocent people who have been executed in states the practice the death penalty.…

    Antarctica consists of mostly frozen ice particles and may very well vary huge chunks of ice burgs. Sea ice keeps the Polar Regions levelheaded and helps adequate global climate. Sea ice has a bright surface; that contains eighty percent of the sunlight that strikes it is revealed back into space. As sea ice melts in the summer, it exposes the dark ocean surface. Instead of reflecting eighty percent of the sunlight, the ocean only absorbs ninety percent of the sunlight. The oceans eventually heat up, and the temperatures rise further.…

    There’s something about the way trees form a thick canopy over a quiet forest that whispers of barely contained power. The wilderness seems to hold its breath and hide its secrets amidst the incursions of curious humans. However, the lucky few, such as former president Jimmy Carter, are made privy to the innermost workings of Mother Earth’s mysteries through their time in nature. Ink becomes paint, pages become canvases and Carter becomes an artist in his impassioned foreword to, ‘Arctic National Wildlife Refuge: Seasons of Life and Land, A Photographic Journey’. In an effort to convince readers the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge should not be developed for industry, Carter utilizes powerful imagery…

Currently, anthropological influences on earth have triggered a quickening rise in global temperatures and this in turn is causing a rapid change in earth’s climate.

Major impacts relating to the melting of the polar ice caps include changes in ocean temperature, changes in ocean salinity, sea level rise/ flooding, changes in ocean circulations, loss of biodiversity, and loss of ecosystems as well as their services.
