I first travelled to the Arctic In 2021, as the pandemic was losing steam and things were opening up, I received a call from documentary filmmaker asking me to join a project to document climate change in Greenland. As a coral reef biologist, I was intrigued to draw parallels between the same devastating climate issues we experience in the tropics. Extreme heat events have increased in the Arctic region since the ‘70s and minimum temperatures have increased at three times the global rate. In 2012, rain fell on the ice cap for the first time. When we were out there filming, temperatures soured as warm air became trapped over Greenland, which for us this meant shorts and t-shirts but for the ice cap this meant one of its most most wide-spread melting episodes. Through this photo series, I hope to give a voice to this shift - as the remnants of an ice age disappear again and the earth shape-shifts, re-forms, re-creates.
