In September 2022, I stood on a pile of rocks that marked the once-grand reach of Hilda Glacier in the Canadian Rockies. Now the glacier was no more than a small triangle of ice clinging stubbornly to the far wall of the valley, a few kilometers away. It had been important for me to come here. I’d been married at the glacier, 20 years before. But so much had changed since then—about this place, and about me. Reaching the moraine had been a struggle on this return visit.

One year ago, Maya Bhatia, a biogeochemist at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Canada, stepped out of a helicopter onto a glacier near Grise Fiord (Aujuittuq) in the Canadian Arctic to collect a sample of melt water. To the horror of her student and the pilot, she slipped into a stream and was swept into a moulin, a vertical shaft in the glacier. There was no way to save her. Bhatia left behind her husband and two young children.
