# Climate Change Portraiture 'The Arctic Melt' Captures Haunting Images of Global Warming's Impact By Ell Smith | Published 2017-05-17 | Social Good Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-arctic-melt References: [fubiz.net](http://www.fubiz.net/en/2017/05/16/beautiful-pictures-of-the-artic-melting-by-diane-tuft-2/) Diane Tuft's new photo series "The Arctic Melt' features [haunting images](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rhinoceros-gallery1) that depict the extent of Global Warming's impact. The photos, which were taken in Greenland and Norway capture the fragile landscapes of the Earth's coolest climates. The disappearing landscapes presented in Tuft's work evoke a sense of urgency, reminding the viewer that the scenery will soon be obsolete. Tuft has spent the majority of her career trying to warn people of the adverse and very real effects of [climate change](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heatwave-pavilion), traveling to remote areas of the world to document its progress. Photographing [arctic glaciers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/borealis-series) and oceans, Tuft hopes to bring light to the reality that global warming takes on a much scarier face the further away from home you go, serving as a harsh reminder of what is being rapidly lost. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.1/10 - Popularity: 38% | Activity: 16% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Social Good](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialgood) > [Activism](https://www.trendhunter.com/activism) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Climate Change Photography:** Opportunity to capture and communicate the impact of climate change through visually compelling images. - **Environmental Documentation:** Disruptive innovation opportunity to use photography as a medium to raise awareness about the effects of climate change. - **Remote Area Exploration:** Exploring distant and untouched areas of the world to document the effects of global warming presents opportunities for scientific research and understanding. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Photography:** Incorporating climate change themes into photography can create new market segments and opportunities for photographers. - **Environmental Conservation:** Disruptive innovation in conservation efforts to protect fragile landscapes and counter the impact of climate change. - **Scientific Research:** Exploring remote areas affected by global warming can lead to scientific discoveries and innovative solutions to mitigate its effects. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sea Level-Measuring Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/totemy-series.md) - [Climate-Awareness Wool Calendars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/irreversible-scale.md) - [Climate-Awareness Soft Art Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dreamstones.md) - [Endangered Ice Cream Trucks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/save-the-flavors.md) - [Arctic Portal Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arctic-portal.md) - [Haunting Glacial Fragrances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/joklalykt.md) - [Climate Change-Informed Cloth Calendars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cloth-calendar.md) - [Artful Activism Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snowflake-exhibition.md) - [Apocalypse Post Pandemic Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-urban-art.md)
