View the mediaGlaciers are nature's icy guardians, vast rivers of ice and snow that sculpt the Earth, silently bearing witness to the passage of time and the changing rhythms of our planet. They are essential to our ecosystem, acting as reservoirs of fresh water and indicators of the planet's state of health. They provide water for millions of people, regulate sea levels and preserve biodiversity.
Yet these giants of ice are under threat.
Our work is guided by the way scientists question the world around them and we translate their research into images to help people to understand the world better and to awaken their curiosity and wonderment.
