Taking us to the collapsing face of Thwaites Glacier in Antarctica,
author Elizabeth Rush works to free the ice’s agency from both
historical tropes and the confines of her own preconceptions.
Contemplating the ways our own future is increasingly entangled
with that of Thwaites, Elizabeth listens for the voice of the
glacier, anticipating a quick, ready kinship. But as she recognizes
the importance of time—“ribbons, reams, centuries, millennia” of
temporal investment—in attuning oneself to the Earth’s responses,
she surrenders to the slow unfolding conversation between humans
and the more-than-human world. Read the transcript. Photo by
