Images contain stitched photos to create a panorama. Top: Historical panorama image from the Norwegian Polar Institute from 1967 (reference n. NP051261), shows the glaciers Kongsbreen and Kronobreen merging and surrounding Colleth??gda Island, outside Ny ??lesund, Svalbard. Bottom: Panorama image taken from the same position by photographer Christian Aslund on the 24th August 2024. Greenpeace has commissioned photographer Christian Aslund to continue a project he began in 2002 - to carry out visual research of glaciers in Svalbard and document their retreat over time. While sailing aboard the Greenpeace vessel ???Witness???, Aslund revisited glaciers he first documented in 2002 as well as photographing others, new to this project. The Arctic has been warming more than twice as fast as the rest of the world, due to "Arctic amplification." Rapid warming of the Arctic region has global consequences. Melting glaciers and ice sheets are causing sea levels to rise. Melting sea ice reveals the dark ocean that absorbs heat instead of reflecting it like ice and snow and has far-reaching impacts on weather patterns.
