New publication: „Die Gletscher schmelzen, während wir uns verlieben“

The book explores the history and perception of glaciers and their significance in the context of climate change. Balzer combines scientific perspectives with poems, stories, and artworks. At its centre is the question of how our view of glaciers changes as they increasingly disappear as a result of climate change.

In this way, the book connects 250 years of poetic glacier studies with current questions surrounding climate, nature, and how we deal with the loss of ice landscapes.
