Melting Giants – Covered
Our glaciers are melting. In Switzerland at the Rhone Glacier geotextiles are used to delay the melting, creating a surreal landscape.
These textiles are not a sustainable solution nor will they prevent the glacier from eventually melting.
Geotextiles are used for economic reasons, so that ski resorts have enough snow to open early or that there is still an ice cave to visit at the Rhone Glacier. They won‘t save a glacier!
