In 2024, Dr. Mauri Pelto and artist Jill Pelto returned to Washington’s North Cascades for the 41st season of glacier fieldwork – supported by POWs Advocacy & Adventure Alliance Grant and @11thhourracing. The North Cascade Glacier Climate Project has been running continuously since 1984, creating one of the world’s longest records of glacier change. With the support of the grant, the Peltos were able to continue this vital research, analyze data, and produce original art to help communicate the findings. Since the project began, the North Cascades have lost 40–50% of their glacier volume with half of that loss occurring since just 2013. This short film by @danmccomb spotlights their process, blending science, creativity, and community to tell the story of a rapidly changing mountain range and the people working to protect it.
