Witnessing Icebergs

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Camille Seaman's photoessay, "Witnessing Icebergs" documents just a tip of the problem of climate change through images of icebergs in both the Arctic and Antarctic polar regions. After viewing the haunting images, viewers respond to a series of discussion questions, and then craft a written reflection that demonstrates their understanding of Seaman's warning.
