Beginning in the 1930s and spanning six decades, explorer Bradford Washburn artistically and audaciously photographed the majestic glaciers in Alaska and Switzerland. Beginning in 2005, environmental photojournalist David Arnold spent two years retracing Washburn's steps to record a selection of the original 8,000 images. Arnold's presentation, Chasing the Shadows of Dr. Bradford Washburn, chronicles his epic journey from Alaska to the Alps and provides insights into Washburn's extraordinary life.
