Terekty is not just the name of a river in Central Asia. Terekty is also the name of a scientific travel and expedition documentary film. It takes you to the remote high mountains of Kyrgyzstan, where an international expedition team is following the glaciers of the Tian Shan \u2013 retracing the steps of a research expedition that took place over 120 years ago. Set against a backdrop of rugged peaks, icy nights and spectacular landscapes, the film impressively combines adventure and science.<\/p>\n

Together with mountain guide Martin Kaiser, Kyrgyz partners and a research team from ETH Zurich, you\u2019ll experience first-hand how modern drone technology, historical photographs and field research paint a dramatic picture of our changing world. This is about far more than melting ice: it\u2019s about water, the future of entire regions and the question of what responsibility we bear for our planet.<\/p>\n

Immerse yourself in the world of glaciers and join the discussion following the screening with the filmmakers Patrick Barylla and Leon Riener, as well as Valentin K\u00fcnzler, an ETH master student of environmental science, who is part of the exhibition.<\/p>\n
