Becker
photographed glaciologist and climate researchers, Konrad Steffen and
seven scientists, at their measuring station, Swiss Camp, where they
work on predicting the planet's future. Even at Point 660, a popular
tourist spot, taking photographs of one another proudly in this
formidable landscape may soon be over.

Becker is a modern day explorer, no less a pioneer than his famous "pole fever" predecessors, from Carsten Borchgrevink, the first Norwegian explorer to set foot in Antarctica, to Ernest Shackleton's well-known Endurance expedition. Between 2003 and 2006, Becker traveled a total of 2,500 miles up and down the coast of Greenland in a rigid inflatable boat...One hundred years from now his photographs may be all that's left to view of this extraordinary world. — From Elizabeth Avedon's photo-eye Review of Above Zero
