As the Southern Hemisphere enters summer, a catastrophic bushfire season is well underway on Australia's east coast. Homes have been destroyed, koalas are dying, and there's currently a thick smog of smoke blanketing parts of the state of New South Wales. 随着南半球进入夏季，澳大利亚东部海岸爆发灾难性的森林大火。房子被烧毁，考拉相继死去，目前浓烟笼罩着新南威尔士州部分地区。 Some think the effects of the extensive fires could even be travelling across the ocean, ending up on New Zealand's glaciers. 一些人认为大面积火灾甚至会波及大洋彼岸，影响到新西兰的冰川。 Travel writer and photographer Liz Carlson took these beautiful and sad photos while on a helicopter tour in Mount Aspiring National Park in New Zealand's South Island. 旅行作家兼摄影师Liz Carlson乘直升机在新西兰南岛的阿斯派灵山国家公园拍到了这些美丽而伤感的照片。 "It's pretty remarkable to see the impact of the fires from so far away," she wrote on her blog Young Adventuress. 她在她的博客《Young Adventuress》上写道：“真的是很不寻常，竟然在这么远的地方看到大火的影响。” "Our glaciers don't need any more battles as they are already truly endangered; it puts the impact of climate change into even more stark reality we can't ignore." “我们的冰川已经很脆弱了，不堪一击；它让我们看到了气候变暖这个残酷事实的影响了，我们无法熟视无睹。” |
