This first-person story takes readers on a journey to a glacier, where scientists study the effects of climate change.

This is travel writing brought to science. Nijhuis joins a group of scientists and students at a camp on a glacier. She's a seasoned writer on the environment; her pieces for the High Country News don't skimp on science. This piece for the Christian Science Monitor, on the other hand, is geared more toward a general audience: Narrative frames a basic message that the evidence of global warming is real. You'll find other stories by Nijhuis about climate change in Related Links to the right.
