As storyteller Andri Snær Magnason puts it, climate change is like a black hole: so big it’s larger than language. We understand it not by looking straight at its center, but by looking at its edges.

On a journey retracing his grandparents’ annual spring pilgrimage to Iceland’s Vatnajökull glacier, Andri searches for the stories that lie at the edges of our 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 past and future generations to grasp what the immense changes he has seen in just one lifetime will mean for the future of the planet.
