Daniel Schwartz documents the global recession of glaciers through a rigorous photographic study spanning the Alps, the Karakoram range, the Rwenzori mountains, and the Cordillera Blanca. By juxtaposing contemporary large-format aerial imagery with historical archival documents, the work bridges the gap between natural science and visual art. This monograph serves as a profound meditation on the intersection of geological time, human progress, and the fragile state of the Earth's cryosphere.
