The Fragile Face

I took these photos in Veneto Dolomites, around Lagazuoi and Lavaredo. Although its primaeval and apparently untouched peaks seem to be characterised by a majestic strength, researchers point out that the sudden collapses and detachments of rocks of Dolomites slopes are the main consequence of the gradual permafrost deterioration due to the variations in depth and width of its layers, especially if combined with other effects of global warming as the increase of rainfall. The main goal of this work is to raise awareness of this unexpected and dramatic fragility produced by climate change.
