600 Fools On a Glacier

The latest in the world of global warming protests:

Nearly 600 volunteers stripped before the camera on a melting Swiss glacier high in the Alps on Saturday as part of a publicity campaign to expose the impact of climate change.

The eco-conscious volunteers turned up under blue skies near the foot of the Aletsch glacier, a protected UNESCO World Heritage site.

Environmental group Greenpeace commissioned the photo shoot from world renowned photographer Spencer Tunick.

"Their numbers are close to 600," Nicolas de Roten of Greenpeace Switzerland told AFP. "It's relatively chilly but that doesn't seem to be disturbing them."


"Excuse me, is your glacier shrinking?"

"No, it's just cold out."
