Welcome to Mossback’s Northwest: Extended Cut, a YouTube exclusive featuring the full-length conversations we recorded in the Cascade PBS studio for the Mossback podcast. In this episode, co-hosts Knute Berger and Stephen Hegg explore Northwest glaciers.
As soon as Mary Vaux arrived in the Canadian Rockies in the 1880s, she began photographing and documenting one glacier in particular, year after year. Mossback co-hosts explore Vaux’s life and legacy as Canada's first glaciologist, as well as the dramatic retreat of the Northwest’s many glaciers due to climate change.
