Losing a Legacy: A Photographic Story of Disappearing Glaciers
Photos by Dan Fagre

May 19 to Sept. 6, 2009

This photographic exhibition blends the science of climate change research with the aesthetic of landscape photography from Glacier National Park.

Losing a Legacy contrasts scanned images of prominent glaciers in the Park from the 1920’s with recent photographs of the same glaciers .
