"Melt: A Journey Through Frozen and Fiery Landscapes" Step back in time to 1885, when Scottish curling enthusiasts first glided across the icy surface, leaving behind a trail of grace and precision. Fast forward to the surreal world of Salvador Dali's "Hommage, " where melting clocks defy logic and challenge our perception of time. Venture into the heart of the Greenland Sea, aboard the icebreaker Kapitan Khlebnikov, as it fearlessly navigates through broken pack ice. Witness nature's relentless force as it breaks free from its frozen shackles. Recall the haunting echoes of London during World War II, when blitzed streets were littered with burnt-out incendiary devices - remnants of a city that refused to surrender. Reflect on those New Year resolutions made with determination but destined to melt away like snowflakes under a warm sun. Yet hope remains that we can reshape ourselves anew each year. Marvel at the majestic iceberg floating serenely amidst frigid waters - an ephemeral masterpiece sculpted by nature's hand. But beware. This beauty belies a chilling truth; climate change threatens its existence. Gaze upon Mendenhall Glacier in southeast Alaska, once mighty but now retreating rapidly due to our changing climate. Witness firsthand how human actions can cause irreversible damage to these frozen giants. Explore glacial terminus landscapes adorned with meltwater streams and rugged rocks - evidence of Earth's delicate balance between freeze and flow. Journey to Jokulsarlon lagoon where icebergs dance gracefully in glacial meltwater - their temporary sanctuary before they too succumb to warmth's embrace. Discover Corrie an Lochain in Scotland's Cairngorm mountains; here lies a frozen lochan encapsulating both stillness and potential energy waiting for release –a moment suspended in time yet ever-changing. Peer inside Eurasian Resources Group’s molten ferroalloy ladle, a fiery cauldron of industry and progress.
