Hundreds Pose Nude on Swiss Glacier

Hundreds of naked people formed a "living sculpture" on Switzerland's Aletsch glacier Saturday, hoping to raise awareness about climate change.

The photo shoot by Spencer Tunick, the New York artist famous for his pictures of nude gatherings in public settings worldwide, was designed to draw attention to the effects of global warming on Switzerland's shrinking glaciers.

"The melting of the glaciers is an indisputable sign of global climate change," said the environmental group Greenpeace, which co-organized the event.

It said most Swiss glaciers will disappear by 2080 if global warming continues at its current pace.

Thanks for the link.

One question: If Spencer Tunick believes in his work so much, how come he's always dressed?

Looks a bit nipply out.

Wipe that ice off your face....

Plus the person in the middle about 5 rows back has his knee in the air. Looks like a job for photoshop!

and the ones in the ice, as well ... :scared:

There are better ways to raise awareness of global warming than getting frostbite on your genitals.

You stop that right now, you hear? This is ART, dammit!

...this is really a stunt to get other people naked?
