Photographs of our blue planet, taken during the 1968 Apollo 8 lunar mission, transformed our grasp of its fragile equilibrium. In 2009, we need similarly defining images to galvanize interventions to mitigate climate change.

It examines how the global-warming debate has influenced the practice of more than 30 international contemporary artists, some of whom have participated in Cape Farewell expeditions to the Arctic.
