  Receding Glacial Cap With Cryoalgae by Jason Edwards from Australia is the winner of 2011 Eureka Prize for Science Photography.  This region of the Antarctic Peninsula has undergone one of the highest temperature increases in the world over the past 50 years. The mean annual temperature has risen by more than 3°C and has been responsible for a significant thinning of ice caps, recession of glaciers and break-up of ice shelves.
