Happy Earth Day, Cryosphere Capsule readers! See ICCI’s “Cryosphere” tweets in honor of the day at https://twitter.com/iccinet/status/1517404853752016896. (And check out Google’s search page, which today features time-lapse photographs of receding glaciers in East Africa and northeastern Greenland.)

Whether you’re in cryosphere or not, have a wonderful day!
