WHERE ICE NEVER MELTS...

Scarisoara glacier and ice cave.

By André Rey Vidal, 4th year ESO.

1165 metres over the sea level, the Scarisoara Glacier is still standing there to be admired. The giant block of ice is one of the glaciers which hasn't melted since the Ice Age. Even though it has never disappeared, its shapes are in continuous change. In the summer, a few centimetres of the ice layer melts while in the winter, with the new snow and the freezing temperatures, it grows up into amazing renovated forms.

                       

A mysterious animal

  by Bartłomiej Blacha and Karol Danielczyk from Bieruń, Poland

On the third day of our trip to Sicily we went to a very nice beach in Mondello. We put on our swimming costumes and started taking pictures. Suddenly, we saw a strange animal lying on the sand. It was quite small, just a few centimeters long, transparent with some blue elements. We didn’t know what it was. Our teacher warned us: “You’d better not touch this animal, please, be careful”, but it was too late. We had already touched it!
