Who is fighting for the world's glaciers? Meet them on the new Mountain Glaciers Directory page

Whenever I come home from the ice, people ask me the same thing: "Isn't it lonely out there?" On the glacier, sometimes. But in this work? Never.

Because there is an extraordinary, scattered, stubborn community of people who have given their lives to mountain glaciers — scientists measuring them, organisations protecting them, UNESCO sites safeguarding them, artists and filmmakers helping the world feel what's at stake. For years I've wished there were one place to see all of us at once. To show that behind every glacier is a web of people who refuse to look away.

So I built it. The Mountain Glaciers Directory is now live on my website.

It's a living, interactive map of the people and organisations working on mountain glaciers all over the world. You can explore who is doing what, and where, from researchers in the Andes to filmmakers in the Alps to institutions safeguarding glaciers as world heritage. It's part map, part community, part love letter to everyone working to understand and protect the ice.

If you work on mountain glaciers: as a scientist, an organisation, an artist, a storyteller — I want you on the map. Scroll down and submit a new entry to be added, and tell me who I've missed.

Every person we add makes the picture more complete.

We are far more than the world realises.
