Glacier Works
Through his non-profit, Glacier Works, David Breashears and his team document the effects of climate change in the Himalaya. David, a mountaineer, filmmaker, photographer, and author, finds some of the earliest photographs of the Himalaya region and uses his mountaineering expertise to visit that exact same spot and capture the three-dimensional wasting of our glaciers, providing some clarity into what glacial recession is telling us about our rapidly changing world. Just because the terrain is tough and rugged doesn’t mean that it isn’t vulnerable. This project chronicles their work as they climb their way to remote view points in an effort to document the role that climate change plays on the depletion on these hard-to-reach yet significant glacial systems.
