Sebastian Copeland’s life is filled with expeditions to places nobody has set foot in before, which he perpetuates with his breathtaking photography. In his talk, he gives us a taste of his adventures, but also opens the door to an introspective journey into the history of humanity and our beautiful planet. After all, ice has come a long way before being captured by his camera, so it has some stories to tell. It can teach us about ourselves and our future, but are we willing to listen?
