FIRE AND ICE

Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I’ve tasted of desire
I hold with those who favour fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.

Robert Frost
(From Harper’s Magazine, December 1920)

FROST . . . get it?

Ice Stalagmites – Crystal Ice Cave, Lava Beds National Monument

"Crystal Ice Cave contains some of the most spectacular ice formations among Lava Beds’ many caves. Because of the sensitive nature of this cave’s formations and air flow, it is open to park visitors on small ranger-guided tours only during winter months."

This is from the Lava Beds National Monument’s spiel. They limits access to the cave to six people per week and only during the Winter. More people than that entering the cave will raise the temperature and melt the ice. I will be posting some really cool photos of this cave this week so stay tuned.
