Paul Zizka: Cryiophilia

It seems we’re only decades, maybe even a decade, away from some of this ice disappearing altogether. Some of the ice featured in my photographs taken just a few years ago is already gone. With rising temperatures, we risk the melting of our polar regions and our world’s glaciers. The implications of this are well-researched and documented. Many dedicated scientists are working to better understand what is happening and what is at stake. By and large, the practical consequences of melting ice are widely discussed — a role I leave to those who are qualified to speak about it. Where I feel I can best contribute is to use the power of photography to raise alarm at the loss of the aesthetics of ice and showcase its beauty for others to appreciate.
