Photographer Christopher Dormoy's "Eternal Spring" timelapse film was inspired by global warming. Dormoy says that melting ice is beautiful and symbolizes spring, but it can also symbolize the problematic aspects of our climate.
"Glacier Pools" is a photo series by German photographer Tom Hegen, who flew over melting glaciers in Iceland in a helicopter and captured abstract aerial views of the pools that form in the outwash plains.
Over the past several years, the U.S. Geological Survey has been shooting a "Repeat Photography" project in various locations to show how glacier ice has been retreating over the past century. Using photos from the late 1800s and early 1900s as references, photographers are rephotographing those same scenes to show how things have changed (and are changing).
More than a decade ago, photographer Camille Seaman visited Alaska, Svalbard and Antarctica, and thus began a love affair with the polar regions that spanned 10 years and tens of thousands of photographs.
Now, the best of her images of icebergs, animals, and Arctic and Antarctic landscapes are being compiled into the photo book Melting Away, poised to be released just as the debate over climate change and its impact reaches a fever pitch.
German photographer Michel Lamoller has created an incredible series of photo collages that depict subjects melting into their environment.
You know the saying "that's about as exciting as watching water boil?" Well, this time-lapse is about as exciting as watching ice cream melt... actually, it is exactly as exciting as watching ice cream melt -- but that's not nearly as banal as you might think it is.
What you see in the video above is a real sculpture that does, in fact, look as if it is perpetually melting right before your eyes. But while creating the exact sculpture took months of design and engineering work, the photographic technique behind it was invented as long ago as 100 BC.
What you're looking at is a three-dimensional "zoetrope," an animation device that created the illusion of motion using lighting effects or a sequence of still images (in this case, it's a mix of clever sculpting and well-timed strobes).
James Balog, the photographer behind the award-winning documentary Chasing Ice, is back at it again, capturing the ever-changing landscape of glaciers. This time though, he's headed to the southern hemisphere, taking his passion and ambition to Antarctica for the project Extreme Ice Survey.
Portland, Maine-based photographer Ben DeHaan has an unique---and slightly disturbing---series of portraits in a project titled "Uncured." Each of the photographs is shown in two forms: one shows what the image originally looked like, and the other is a portrait that's "melting."
