Whyte Museum of the Canadian Rockies
January 24-April 6, 2025
In honour of the 2025 United Nations International Year of Glacier Preservation, MELTDOWN showcases a powerful collection of fine art landscape photography by Jim Elzinga and Roger Vernon, drawing viewers deep into the heart of Canada’s glacial landscapes for an unparalleled immersive experience.
“We are giving this glorious landscape a voice – the ice and its guardian mountains stand mute; they cannot speak for themselves.”
“Visionary artists and explorers whose lens paints stories of the frozen realms atop alpine peaks. With an unwavering passion for the majesty of the ice, they capture the ethereal beauty and timeless grace of alpine landscapes like no other.”
- Ric Noyle, Producer, PhotoCON Hawaii 2024
