New book explores photo tourism in an age of climate change
A new book by Australian photographer and photo tour guide Pearce Leal explores the complex relationship between climate change and photo tourism.

"The Arctic, the Southern Andes, and the South Pole are widely recognised for the effects that the climate crisis has had on the landscape," Leal writes. "With society becoming more conscious of the impact of climate collapse, large numbers of photo-tourists now flock to these destinations."
Faced with increasing numbers of tourists keen to visit these locations before they are gone, Leal turned his lens on the tourists themselves.

Leal works with family-owned photo tour business World Photo Adventures, and captured the images in the book while working with clients over a number of years and during trips escorting photographers in the field.
