Sebastião Salgado

Glaciers

This majestic collection of black-and-white photographs captures the world’s great glaciers as both ancient monuments and fragile frontiers in the age of climate change.

In this arresting visual study, Sebastião Salgado brings together 65 duotone photographs from his epic project Genesis, offering a visual survey of some of the planet’s most remote and ice-bound regions. From the ice fields of Patagonia and the peaks of the Himalayas to the vast shelves of Antarctica and the volcanic flanks of Kamchatka, these images record the forms, textures, and scale of glacial landscapes around the world.

Shot in Salgado’s large-format, black-and-white style, the photographs emphasize the physical presence of ice—its ridges, fractures, density, and drift. Light and shadow reveal the structural complexity of each scene, from massive crevasses to the delicate patterns of wind-swept snow.

An essay by climate scientist Elisa Palazzi examines the science of glacier formation, transformation, and decline. Pairing meticulous sequencing with refined design and premium duotone printing, the book offers a focused and enduring portrait of the world’s glaciers at a critical moment in their history.
