Rivers of Ice: Vanishing Glaciers of the Greater Himalaya July 13, 2010

We are excited to present a new photography and multimedia exhibition opening July 13 at Asia Society Museum. Rivers of Ice: Vanishing Glaciers of the Greater Himalaya showcases the work of photographer and mountaineer David Breashears, who has retraced the steps of renowned mountain photographers of the past century to capture images of these mountains and their glaciers from exactly the same vantage points. By revealing the alarming loss in ice mass over the intervening years, this exhibition seeks to raise awareness of the impacts of climate change in Asia.
