Parental warning: Contains (very tasteful) nudity.

Six hundred people shed their clothes on a glacier in the Swiss Alps to bodily cry out for help against a planetary emergency: global warming.

The nude volunteers posed for us and renowned naked "installation" artist Spencer Tunick on the Aletsch Glacier.

Without clothes, the human body is vulnerable, exposed, its life or death at the whim of the elements. Global warming is stripping away our glaciers and leaving our entire planet vulnerable to extreme weather, floods, sea-level rise, global decreases in carrying capacity and agricultural production, fresh water shortages, disease and mass human dislocations.

If global warming continues at its current rate, most glaciers in Switzerland will completely disappear by 2080, leaving nothing but valleys and slopes strewn with rock debris.

I seen this before in the NY Times article. I recognize that artist's name. He's done human nudity shots many times before. I didn't realize it was for a Green Peace protest. Doesn't seem as cold as they make it.

I couldn't do it but kudos to them for doing it. lol

Well at least they are doing this for a cause and aren't like the old men that jump into freezing water for fun/sport.
