Snows of the Nile: Searching for Uganda's Glaciers - Nate Dappen & Neil Losin

Nate Dappen grew up in Nairobi, Kenya, when his mountaineer father took a trip in the late 1980's to Uganda's glacier-capped Rwenzori Mountains. His father's photos helped create a fascination with the mountains. Dappen and his friend Neil Losin recently went to the Rwenzori Mountains to recreate a series of photos taken in 1906, to gauge the glaciers' health. But Losin and Dappen found that they couldn't even find the locations of many of the photos: the lack of snow and ice changed the perspective so much that they would have been nearly unrecognizable. They made a film, titled "Snows of the Nile," showing their expedition and tell the story of the ice, and water, that sustains life in the area.
