  • A ruptured green balloon lies among ice worms, slowly photodegrading on the Whitechuck Glacier, on the slopes south of Glacier Peak in Washington's North Cascades.

The balloon, carelessly set free and fallen as litter, will never quite vanish; broken down by weathering, it will be eternalized as small, mobile fragments poisoning the soil, water and food chain.
