EAGLE EYES: A conservation group has released stunning aerial footage from a camera attached to an eagle named Victor, providing a bird’s-eye view of several crumbling European glaciers in what they hope will serve as a climate change wake-up call.
The images will be stunningly beautiful yet also hint of dire future consequences. Filmed with a camera mounted between his majestic wings, they’ll show how a white-tailed eagle named Victor sees the world as he flies over the Alps and capture its once-magnificent glaciers now crumbling because of global warming.Victor will embark upon five flights this week over the Alps.
“How can you convince people to protect the birds and their environment if you never show them what the birds see?” he added. “I don’t have a remote control. So if he doesn’t see me and decides not to come to me, he could go anywhere,” Travers said. Travers has witnessed the melting firsthand during scouting trips ahead of Victor’s travels. A German glacier that had hard-packed snow when he first visited last year is now mushy, he said.Disintegrating permafrost, which now glues a glacier’s rocks together, can cause them to crumble with potentially devastating consequences.
