and create a sustainable future.

We connect people to the natural world — its modern condition and current needs — through photography, literature, and stories of adventure.

PLANET ICE

What ice tells us about the past may help us understand the future of ice, and us, on Earth.

Jim Martin's new book, Planet Ice: A Climate for Change, documents the beauty and the power of ice and its unique role in revealing the changing condition of our planet. Glaciers and ice fields are critical to the health of our eco-system and we are making them disappear.

See Jim's photographs as well as read essays by writers such as Patagonia founder Yvon Chouinard, polar bear expert Ian Stirling, ice scientist Richard Alley, glaciologist Gino Casassa and others such as Gretel Ehrlich, Nick Jans, and Broughton Coburn. And check out our Planet Ice iPhone app.
