A drop of water falls from a melting piece of ice on Argentinas Perito Moreno glacier
A drop of water falls from a melting piece of ice on Argentinas Perito Moreno glacier near the city of El Calafate, in the Patagonian province of Santa Cruz, December 16, 2009. Scientists warn that glaciers in the Andes are melting because of the effects of climate change. According to studies, these accumulations of ice are thawing at a pace so fast that they could disappear in 25 years.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a single droplet of water gracefully falling from a melting piece of ice on Argentina's Perito Moreno glacier. Located near the city of El Calafate, in the picturesque Patagonian province of Santa Cruz, this natural wonder is under threat due to climate change. Scientists have issued warnings that glaciers in the Andes are rapidly melting, and studies indicate that these icy formations could vanish within a mere 25 years. The image showcases both the beauty and fragility of our planet's delicate ecosystems. The crystal-clear droplet suspended mid-air represents not only the imminent loss of an awe-inspiring landscape but also serves as a poignant reminder of humanity's impact on nature. Photographer Marcos Brindicci skillfully captured this fleeting moment, freezing time for us to reflect upon our responsibility towards preserving Earth's wonders. As we gaze at this photograph, we cannot help but feel compelled to take action against climate change and protect these invaluable treasures for future generations. With every drop that falls from this melting ice, we witness nature's plea for urgent attention and conservation efforts. This photograph serves as a powerful symbol urging us to confront the reality before us: unless we act swiftly and decisively, these majestic glaciers will be lost forever.
