Isabel Ma, Celebrate the Beauty of Ice (Travel (2019))

The impacts of climate change have never felt more real. Extreme weather events have been experienced across the globe. Living in New South Wales under heat waves of 40+ degree Celsius this summer makes me appreciate my short trip to the far north even more. It was a fun and humbling experience walking on and exploring beneath a glacier. And I wish our future generations have the chance to do the same. It pains me when I think of how our next generation might have to suffer further from extreme weather events. The only sensible response of our generation is taking action to protect our planet before natural ice formations like this become history. Photos were taken at Vatnajökull Glacier area.
