In 2019, Andri Snær Magnason was tasked with a strange new project: to write an obituary for a glacier. Iceland’s Okjökull Glacier perched atop an extinct volcano for thousands of years, nourished by fresh snow as it oozed down the flanks of its mountain. But over the past century, it shrunk to five percent its original size and was eventually declared dead after its ice stopped moving. In the documentary “Time and Water,” he examines these changes through his family history, beginning with his grandparents, who helped found the Icelandic Glaciological Society. The film poses a difficult question: How can we explain to future generations what a glacier is if they have never seen one? We sat down with Magnus to understand how glaciers live, die, and shape his country. Read our interview at the link in bio. #TimeAndWater is now streaming on DisneyPlus and hulu.
