22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Artistic
Skin and Bones
In the mid 2010s, an attempt to save part of the Rhone Glacier was made by covering five acres of ice in white blankets to reflect solar radiation. A decade later and the battle is lost, all that remains are tattered shreds of fabric draped over a melting iceberg. Climate change has proven to be a challenge that can only be overcome with globally coordination, local efforts are never enough.
