Hooray for global warming! Melting ice has created a fantastic "ice cathedral" in a grotto under the Nigard Glacier, one of Norway's major glaciers:
He described the ice grotto as "fantastic," with "extremely blue" colors and large icicles hanging from its ceiling. "But it's changing from day to day," he said, noting that ice is a "moving phenomenon."
The grotto is believed to have been created by rising temperatures. "It's the running water under the ice that has made the ice over it melt," noted Kjærvik.

That's beautiful. Though I'd be nervous standing under it.
