Greenpeace asked photographer Christian Åslund to use photographs taken in the early 20th century to document how glaciers in Svalbard were melting.

The disappearance of glaciers was one of the first signs that global heating caused by fossil fuel burning was rapidly affecting conditions on Earth .
