<\/a> This exhibition makes a century-spanning comparison between historical and modern photographs of the Karakorum glaciers, sensitive indicators of the climatic changes our planet is undergoing. The images show the results of the first scientific and photographic expedition “On the Trails of the Glaciers”, which took place in 2009 in the K2 mountains in Karakorum, marking the centenary of the Duca degli Abruzzi’s expedition to these mountains. Accompanied by a team of researchers, Fabiano Ventura, the environmental photographer who initiated the project, followed the trails of the first explorer-photographers of the early 20th century, both to re-capture their images and to carry out scientific investigations. The exhibition aims to use the images’ strong visual impact to focus greater attention on environmental problems, and hopes to stimulate public interest in issues related to climate change and the sustainability of our natural resources in general, most importantly water.<\/p>\n
