Informative brass plaque on the Ok Glacier in Iceland. @historicalmarker.bsky.social #climatechange 🇮🇸🧊🫠
Image of a bilingual Icelandic/English sign at the Ok Glacier in Iceland.  English text reads:

Ok is the first Icelandic glacier to lose its status as a glacier.  In the next 200 years all our glaciers are expected to follow the same path.  This monument is to acknowledge that we know  
what is happening and what needs to be done.  Only you know if we did it.
