The last ice

There is a geography of thought: there are the mild and temperate areas, the most crowded; the hot and cold, already much less inhabited; finally, the areas of the equator and permanent snow, suns and intolerable ice, where only a few, and for a short time, venture.

- Mario Andrea Rigoni, Variazioni sull'impossibile -

Small ice bank floating on the waters of the lower Gemio lake, in the upper Parma valley, the last remnant of the winter now gone.
