Global warming involves gradual climate changes - with the resulting weather phenomena that we’ve come to know in recent years - as well as significant and radical changes in the morphology of our planet, like the gradual receding of the glaciers.

Where once there were vast areas covered with imposing glacial masses, today - more and more often - , only grassy landscapes, bare expanses and rocky valleys remain. The photographic project "On the Trail of the Glaciers" by Fabiano Ventura, developed over the last ten years in the Americas, Asia and Europe - features observations and scientific surveys at the best-known glacier sites in the world. The project aims to produce glaciological measurements and take new photographs from the same observation point at the same time of year as those taken by photographer-explorers at the turn of the twentieth century.

&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;nbsp;

So far, the project has completed 5 expeditions on the ground, 74 photographic comparisons, 6 research programmes and analysed 25 glaciers, and hopes to contribute to the development of greater awareness of the impact that human activities have on climate.

This communications campaign will address the sixth and final expedition of the project “On the Trail of the Glaciers”, planned for 2020 on the largest glaciers of the Alps.
