Fisher combines two activities he loves, flying and photography, trying to photograph every glacier on Earth. He wants his photos to show the beauty of glaciers before some of them disappear.
Garrett Fisher has spent the last three summers photographing glaciers throughout Switzerland with the goal of showing the effect climate change has on the massive bodies of ice.

Satellite images and the latest scientific studies may accurately inform us how quickly the worldâs glaciers are melting. But Garrett Fisherâs mission is different: to reveal the âsoulsâ of vanishing glaciers.
This, the American adventurer believes, is best achieved by flying solo over each glacier in a ramshackle antique plane and dangling his camera out of the window to capture their varied forms, textures and beauty â before they disappear forever.
Fisher, a financial consultant who is planning to devote his life to photographing glaciers, has completed his second book. Three years ago, he documented the glaciers of the Rocky Mountains. Now heâs brought his plane to Switzerland to record the glaciers of the Bernese Alps.
