Greenland?


You two are to something here, :wink: :wink:

No, they are not.

I think Murph should get the credit for getting this one. His guess,

was what gave me the clue that it is, "the corpse of Emily Bronte who was sorry she got laid out in a snowstorm."

By the way, this Whatzit is a digital fake.

TO A WREATH OF SNOW
--by Emily Bronte

O transient voyager of heaven!
⁠O silent sign of winter skies!
What adverse wind thy sail has driven
⁠To dungeons where a prisoner lies?


Methinks the hands that shut the sun
⁠So sternly from this morning's brow
Might still their rebel task have done
⁠And checked a thing so frail as thou.


They would have done it had they known
⁠The talisman that dwelt in thee,
For all the suns that ever shone
⁠Have never been so kind to me!


For many a week and many a day
⁠My heart was weighed with sinking gloom
When morning rose in mourning grey
⁠And faintly lit my prison room.


But angel like, when I awoke,
⁠Thy silvery form, so soft and fair,
Shining through darkness, sweetly spoke
⁠Of cloudy skies and mountains bare;

Speaking of disappearing glaciers...
The Little Ice Age was a period from about 1550 to 1850 when the world experienced relatively cooler temperatures compared to the time before and after. Subsequently, glaciers around the world retreated as the climate warmed substantially.

Got it: a genuine imitation digital reproduction of an Emily Bronte nude shot!

Or maybe it's a map of Pittsburgh?

I don't think so, I made that up.
I still think Murph was close.
Maybe Rufus has the next image ready.

I was lampooning the obviously silly answer of Emily Bronte.....we all know without a doubt, that it is Emily Dickinson.

I see your point. Did you get the hint from Murph's teddy bear in the snow like I did?

Emily Dickinson in the snow.

It sifts from leaden sieves,
It powders all the wood,
It fills with alabaster wool
The wrinkles of the road.

It makes an even face
Of mountain and of plain, —
Unbroken forehead from the east
Unto the east again.

It reaches to the fence,
It wraps it, rail by rail,
Till it is lost in fleeces;
It flings a crystal veil

On stump and stack and stem, —
The summer’s empty room,
Acres of seams where harvests were,
Recordless, but for them.

It ruffles wrists of posts,
As ankles of a queen, —
Then stills its artisans like ghosts,
Denying they have been.

--Emily Dickinson

...another guess on Chuck's:
Milk Duds salvaged and saved from the 1950's ?
