In a kaleidoscopic view of remote Arctic and alpine landscapes, Ice: Portraits of Vanishing Glaciers celebrates a realm of exquisite beauty at the same time it reveals how climate change is altering our world.
Environmental photographer James Balog and his Extreme Ice Survey (EIS) team—mountaineers and explorers, artists and earth scientists—have produced an historic, definitive look at glaciers. From Greenland and Iceland to the Himalaya Alaska, EIS has ventured into the world’s wildest places—some so remote that no human footstep has ever touched them.
Ice: Portraits of Vanishing Glaciers celebrates the art and architecture of ice. It preserves a monumental legacy of how the cryosphere—the landscape of ice—appears today. See it now, because almost all the features shown in this book will never be seen again in the history of civilization.
