Beijing time on August 20 message, methane is a greenhouse gas, will bring disturbing climate change. However, in United States photographer loita Geeta-card camera, the charming atmosphere of methane bubbles but shows an alternative. Kajita cameras was locked under a frozen lake in Alaska methane bubbles, and launched a group called the collection of photographic works of the formation of ice.
Works show a unique charming atmosphere of methane bubbles, thaw Lake, and gradually decay of organic matter, releasing methane. When Lakes and rivers frozen, water starts from the surface and slowly transformed into ice, methane gas locked.
In order to photograph the strange bubbles of methane, United States photographer loita-Geeta in exploration of the Alaska Wilderness for five years, and was attracted to these wonderful bubbles pattern.
Kajita said with wonder: "the methane bubbles pattern is so charming, elegant, exquisite, is so ephemeral, fleeting. Under the Lake, they quietly blooming with fascinating figure, but I can monopolize all of their beauty. " Smart people a lot to find its location an interview
Every October, when temperatures begin to reduce, Geeta card will carry the camera set out to find these bubbles form.
In a small pond on the tundra, are easy to spot bubbles of methane. In addition, kajita also found in Fairbanks, surrounding the Lake and the River, there are bubbles of methane figure. Kajita is commonly used medium format cameras, using slow and small aperture, the posture of these bubble worlds apart completed.
Due to this time of the year the Sun will cast a long shadow, Geeta card can't use a tripod, only on hard standing in ice, hold the camera motionless for a long time to shoot. The whole shooting experience is extremely easy.
Kajita said: "each time you press the shutter button Flash, I always feel extremely nervous. "
Photo bubbles of methane is about 10-30 inches in diameter (about 25-76 cm), kajita said he saw the biggest bubble diameter of up to 6 feet (about 183 cm), and some, like glowing jellyfish, some like primitive organisms.
Look at these beautiful designs, it's easy to forget that they are harmful gases. In terms of unit number, methane is 25 times times larger greenhouse effect than carbon dioxide.
Scientists worry that once the Arctic permafrost thawing, which releases large quantities of methane gas in the frozen lake, number about methane gas in the atmosphere, more than 10 times. Once this fear has become reality, the Earth would become worse than the heat several times.
Kajita said ice photography has satisfied his curiosity about environment, make him more understanding of the environment and drives his dialogue to man and nature have a deeper thought.
Kajita said: "we should continue to explore knowledge of the surrounding environment, through a dialogue with nature, further thinking about how better to survive, and to resolve the increasingly serious environmental problems such as global warming. Pay attention to every little detail in our lives because they have a large influence on Earth. "
