~~~~~

travel

make a journey, typically of some length.

 

Modes of travel.

Flying

By train

 

And on rare and very special occasions

we have travelled by helicopter.

For us a novelty.

For others (e.g. Pilot) more like

riding in a car I suspect.

No novelty.

crush

deform, pulverize, or force inwards by compressing forcefully

A calving

Margerie Glacier…

…makes a bit of a splash as ice hits the sea.

 

It is not until you realise that

the Glacier face is about 250 feet high (above water)

and the splash is about one third the height of the face

and factor in the amount of ice required

to create a splash that high…


…that you realise that these small vessels

might conceivably be crushed 

should they wander too close

to the action.

bubble

a thin sphere of liquid enclosing air
or another gas.

Not the greatest photo…

..however, I have been told that the black spot

is a naturally occurring bubble in amber. 

It appears there are some

other bubbles nearby as well.
