“We are in proportions that are just beyond language. We are in mythology. And how do you write about something that is larger than language? Maybe you have to understand beauty and poetry and love. Who do I love that will experience this in the hard way?”
The ecological crisis is a catastrophe in slow motion. It will be decades before we truly understand the fallout of glacial ice melt. But the lives of our children’s children will undeniably be shaped by the movement of ice and the upwelling of water. How can the stories and relationships that link together generations help us care for a future we cannot yet comprehend? Last month, poet Jamaica Osorio offered spoken verses that carry ancestral wisdom needed in this moment. This week, we debut The Last Ice Age, the third film in our Shifting Landscapes documentary film series, in which Icelandic storyteller Andri Snær Magnason uses myth to help us fathom the immense scale of transformation engulfing the Earth.
For Andri, climate change is like a black hole: so big it exceeds what our minds can grasp. We understand it not by looking straight at its center, but by looking at its edges—to the stories that can bring it into focus. On a journey retracing his grandparents’ annual spring pilgrimage to Iceland’s Vatnajökull glacier, he searches for the narratives that lie at the periphery of the climate crisis, in both scientific data and his family’s memories. Witnessing the inevitable decline of Europe’s largest ice cap with his son Hlynur, Andri pulls on the ties of love that connect generations to try and see what the immense changes he has seen in just one lifetime will mean for the future of the planet.
