Dear MEL Topic Readers,

Explorer’s mission to photograph a century of climate change in Patagonia

How much warmer is it now compared with 100 years ago? Can you imagine the impacts of a one-degree difference in Celsius on nature? You know sea levels are rising as ice sheets melt in Antarctica, Greenland, Arctic Sea, and glaciers around the world. But how much?

Here is a photographer who takes photos of the same remote locations at the same time of year as the photos were taken a century ago to show the changes in nature in Patagonia, a sparsely populated region at the southern end of South America, shared by Argentina and Chile. There used to be massive glaciers that covered the surface, but they disappeared completely or receded more than 10 kilometers. Where have then gone? The answer is so clear.

Though the newly taken photos look so beautiful, they also show nature is changing at a dangerously fast speed.

Read the article and compare the before-and-after photos to learn the changes in Patagonia.
