George Steinmetz

The New York Times assigned George to take aerial photographs of the effects of climate change on every continent for a special issue of their Sunday magazine. Over the course of a year, George put in over a hundred days of fieldwork in Greenland, Switzerland, Mauritania, Bangladesh, China, Australia, Brazil, and Antarctica, to create an extraordinary document of our challenged planet. The journey involved five helicopters, three crashed drones, one hurricane, and a sailboat ride across some of the wildest seas on earth. This ambitious project received additional funding from the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting.
