Fun fact: the album artwork is a photograph taken by a Canadian photographer and it’s called “Ice Waterfall.”
Did you know… A gigaton is what scientists use to measure the loss of ice from Earth’s largest ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica.
This weight is equivalent to over 100 million elephants or 6 million blue whales. #Gigaton
