A record has been made of ice to highlight melting of glaciers

A record has been made of ice to highlight the melting of glaciers. The vinyl-like disc was recorded on the Mer de Glace in the French Alps and captures the real sounds of the glacier. Dubbed “The Voice of the Glaciers”, it was created by environmental collective 1% For The Planet to mark the UNESCO International Year of Glaciers’ Preservation. The project launches “1% for the Glaciers”, a €100,000 fundraising initiative uniting six NGOs protecting alpine ecosystems.
