For years, photographer James Balog has been risking his life to document the receding of glaciers as climate change begins taking its toll at the earth’s extremities. These pairs of images from his new book, Ice: Portraits of Vanishing Glaciers, released last month by Rizzoli, show the transformation of glaciers in Switzerland, Canada, Iceland and Greenland since 2006.

In 2020 he was gracious enough to send us a poem for Poetry Month.

Bill Moyers talked with James Baglog in 2012. Watch the full interview.
