Father-and-son team document devastating ice loss at Iceland’s glaciers 30 years apart Louise Boyle Les Bossons glacier melt in Chamonix New images released by a father-and-son team have revealed the devastating impact that the climate crisis has had on Iceland's glaciers over the past 30 years. Dr Kieran Baxter, a lecturer in communication design at the University of Dundee, replicated the photos taken by his father, landscape photographer Colin Baxter, while on a family vacation in 1989. Side-by-side comparisons of the images show how dramatically the outlet glaciers of the Vatnajökull ice cap – FlaÌajoÌkull, HeinabergsjoÌkull, Hoffellsjokull, HoÌlarjoÌkull, and SkaftafellsjoÌkull – have receded in the south-east of Iceland.
