A digitally edited image of a massive Antarctic iceberg floating in the ocean, with stormy clouds and distant mountains in the background. Superimposed on the iceberg is a cartoon-style pipe system, symbolizing the concept of “Antarctic plumbing”—possibly referring to the movement of meltwater beneath ice sheets or human-engineered solutions related to polar melt. The image blends natural elements with industrial symbolism

The Antarctic Plumbing Problem That’s Speeding Up Ice Melt

A digitally edited image of a kelp forest underwater scene, with several sharks swimming in the background. In the foreground, two distinct sets of jaws are overlaid: on the left, a traditional shark jaw with sharp triangular teeth, and on the right, a unique jaw with flat, plate-like structures resembling those of a durophagous (hard-prey-eating) species. The image contrasts different feeding adaptations in marine predators.
