Needless to say that it is time to wake up and act.
Since 2008, the Project Pressure focuses on leaving a legacy of the world as we know it for generations to come. How? By capturing geo-tagged photographs at glaciers around the world. The aim is to document the glaciers as part of a visual archive of how planet earth once was. The really amazing thing about the collaborative Project Pressure is its openness. The non-profit project is working on what will be the world's first crowdsourced glacier atlas and an open source digital platform.
Beyond accessing a collection of incredible, free-to-use images, scientists, researchers, educators and local communities will be able to contribute to the digital platform by uploading new or archival images – generating a unique open source resource of comparative photographs (Project Pressure 20013).
Fairplanet's favorite: Check out Project Pressure Director Klaus Thymann's incredible photos of the world's clearest lake. Nature (and photography) at its best! Blue Lake, in New Zealand's South Island, is located in a conservation area, and is sacred to the local Maori tribe, who had to be consulted prior to the diving/photography project. Wondering how clear exactly this lake is? Under water visibility of up to 76 metres has been scientifically verified.
