Climate change and retreating glaciers are no longer a future scenario, they are the reality here and now, even in Austria. In just a couple of years, walking on glaciers in climate education settings will become impossible. The glaciers will either not exist or be too fragile to bear our weight due to their melt-down or collapse. Thus, the project „Freeze For Future – Glacier Worlds“ intends to use the period 2022-2025 to virtually “freeze” glacier walks for the climate change education programmes of the future via Virtual Reality Technology.
