Melt
Greenland’s ice sheet is one of the planet’s largest reservoirs of ice, and its accelerating melt has become one of the clearest indicators of climate change. Rising air temperatures and warmer ocean waters drive surface melting and erode glaciers from below, while exposed land and meltwater absorb more heat than reflective ice, creating feedback loops that accelerate melting and contribute to rising sea levels.
In his aerial photographs, DANIEL BELTRÀ reveals this transformation on a monumental scale. Vast rivers of meltwater, fractured ice, and retreating coastlines make visible the rapid loss of Greenland’s ice, connecting a remote landscape to the future of coastlines and communities around the world.
