Haunting Photos of Polar Ice
"It is not a death when [icebergs] melt; it is not an end, but a continuation of their path through the cycle of life.”
Photographer Camille Seaman shoots icebergs, showing the world the complex beauty of these massive, ancient chunks of ice. In this stunning keynote, dive into her photo slideshow, "The Last Iceberg," as you listen to Seaman describe how, when, and why she shot these moving photographs. "I approach photographing icebergs as if I'm making portraits of my ancestors," she says, "knowing that in these individual moments they exist in that way and will never exist again."
