#EVERYDAYCLIMATEDAY – Contact your political representatives
Deine Stimme zählt für den Klimaschutz Klimaforscher und andere Wissenschaftler warnen uns seit Jahren. Auch der jüngste Bericht des IPCC Weltklimarates zeigt es eindrücklich. Der Klimawandel ist Realität, die Auswirkungen sehen wir direkt vor unserer Haustüre. Hitzewellen, Dürreperioden, Hochwasser und andere Starkwetterphänomene werden immer häufiger.

The Story

The Photographer
Ralf Gantzhorn was born in 1964, holds a M.S. in Geology – and has even worked as a geologist (as an independent consultant in the contamination sector). He has been climbing since 1983 and working as a photographer since 1985. As a northern German, he is always torn between the far too distant mountains and the fresh sea air, but he’s found a compromise in Scandinavia, Scotland and Patagonia (where he has now spent over three years). He enjoys organizing trips in areas where unfamiliar vistas – which haven’t already been photographed 1000 times – lure from every corner. He often experiences his images as far too static, but then is pleased with the abundance of triangles in the structure and the fantastic light.

The Story
OK, it’s the most famous glacier in the world. You can’t expect solitude here; every fifteen minutes a busload of tourists is released in the direction of the viewing platforms. And yet the sight of the Perito Moreno Glacier in Patagonia with its 4-km wide and 60 m high escarpment has something touching, something incomprehensible about it. It is a natural spectacle that takes your breath away and that instinctively describes the relationship between man and nature. Humility and tranquil joy of existence seizes every viewer.
