David Buckland has spent the past seven
years trying to capture public attention on
climate change. By taking leading scientists,
artists and educators to its Arctic frontline, he
hopes through their eyes we can see the
threats ahead. Will he succeed? He has to.
Buckland is founder and director of
Cape Farewell. He is also a renowned
artist, film-maker and designer, whose
photo-based works have been collected
by the National Portrait Gallery, London,
the Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris, the
Metropolitan Museum, New York, and
the Getty Collection, Los Angeles,
among others.
"There are many
types of ice: sea ice,
glacier ice, ice six
months old and ice cores
one million years old.
Scientists predict that in
50 years time there will
be no summer ice in the
North Pole, the
sublime beauty of
this place lost." |
