Liam Man’s series “Carcass of the Ice Beast” won the Earth Photo 2025 Climate of Change Award. In 2009, thermally reflective blankets were placed over the Rhône Glacier in Switzerland, to slow its melt, but today these coverings hang in tatters. Man said that it is a “tribute to human effort and a sobering reminder of its limits. Despite the dedication of a few, their interventions could not halt the glacier’s retreat.” <strong>Look through the gallery to see more of the Earth Photo winners.</strong>
