Ice People of Berlin
From the Theme website:
••••••••••••••••••••••••
1,000 Miniature Ice People
With the polar ice caps melting faster than estimated, the WWF has put
up a really clever installation on the steps of a Berlin square that
anthropomorphizes ice block sculptures. The ice carved out to look like
simple humans melted away in the hot summer sun in a statement speaking
to the frailty of nature and the human impact thereof.

"With the polar ice caps melting faster than estimated"
Except for Antarctica. Which has 90% of the ice.
"However, despite some spectacular calvings, drilling of ice cores at Australia’s Antarctic base Davis has established that the “fast ice” is in fact thicker than the average since the 1950s."
"The Antarctic, however, is also producing some oddities. An increase in ice depth, not all that surprisingly, requires more water. The figures given by the Davis research indicate that ice thickness is 1.89 metres, as distinct from the average of 1.67 recorded since the 1950s. "

"A paper to be published soon by the British Antarctic Survey in the journal Geophysical Research Letters is expected to confirm that over the past 30 years, the area of sea ice around the continent has expanded."
