"Opposite Poles Show 'Mirror Images' of Climate Change on Earth" —National Geographic Proof
"Magda Biernat’s Adrift is a yearlong series photographed during her trip from Antarctica to Alaska.

After the trip, Biernat noticed while scanning her film that the shapes of the icebergs mirrored the shapes of the huts, pointing to a larger issue: global warming. Her series is extremely powerful, beautiful, and well-produced. Let’s hope it has a global impact." —JH
