Frozen Legacy
Freeze the Future, Act Now. Save Our Glaciers Today.
About Us
Here at Frozen Legacy, we aim to bring awareness to the youth community about the importance of glacier preservation. Through workshops and outreach, we raise awareness about the critical role glaciers play in our environment and how we can protect them together.
Importance of Glaciers:
Glaciers make up over 70% of Earth's freshwater, supplying drinking water to 1/4 of the global population. They are essential for agriculture, energy production, several industries, and maintaining biodiversity.
Understanding Glacier Melt:
In the last 20 years, the amount of ice that has melted has doubled since ever before. The increased melting and loss of glaciers depletes the Earth's drinking water supply, increases global sea levels, and deprives our planet of a critical source of life.
The Cause:
The primary cause of glacier retreat is through human activities, such as operating vehicles, manufacturing, and producing energy, that release CO2 emissions. This warms Earth's atmospheric and oceanic temperatures, increasingly melting glaciers in the process.

On-Site Visits
Our educational sessions cover glacier basics, conservation methods and sustainable practices, and the importance of glaciers in our world.
We are putting together our very own documentary to visually educate about the glacier disappearance and how students can be part of the solution.
Through our interview series, we share the perspectives of many individuals who are raising awareness about glacial preservation and the urgent need for climate action.
Our on-site trips to glaciers around the world help us gather firsthand information about the reality of glaciers from experts across the globe.
Glacier Preservation Workshop: SRM Public School
We are so grateful for the opportunity to have hosted our first of many glacier preservation workshops with the students of SRM Public School in Chennai, India. We enjoyed talking to the students and hearing their very thoughtful questions.
Glacier Heroes
Welcome to our Glacier Heroes interview campaign, where we spotlight the inspiring individuals working to protect Earth’s glaciers. Through conducting these interviews, we share the stories of educators, researchers, and field workers, who are raising awareness about glacial preservation and the urgent need for climate action.
Email us if you know someone who can interview!
2025
On-Site Visit Spotlight
Alberta, Canada
In June of 2025, our Frozen Legacy team took a trip to Alberta Canada. We visited the Columbia Icefield and its many glaciers, among many other places in the Canadian rockies, to gain professional perspectives on the reality of glacier disappearance, and the importance of immediate action towards their preservation.
2024
On-Site Visit Spotlight
Iceland
In August of 2024, our Frozen Legacy team took a trip to Iceland. We visited the Vatnajokull glacier, the largest glacier in all of Europe, to experience glaciers firsthand, and gain professional perspectives on the reality of glacier disappearance.

Message From the Founder
Hey, my name is Manasi Iyer! I'm a high school student from Charlotte, North Carolina. My fascination towards sustainability and glacier preservation began shortly after my trip to Iceland, where I found out the glacier I was standing on had only 10 years left on our planet. I believe it is important that our global youth population be aware of this pressing issue, since they are our future policymakers, entrepreneurs, and everything in between, who could spark a great change in society.
