The project ‘Cryotourism in a warming world: Co-exploring glacier and snow-based tourism development in southern and northern peripheries’ aims to create an expert network for studying cryotourism in southern and northern peripheries. In our project, we defined cryotourism as a distinct form of tourism in which glaciers and snow constitute the main attraction. Consequently, the conditions of the ice and snow cover are highly vulnerable to the effects of climate change. We argue that while a considerable body of literature addresses the cryotourism-climate change nexus in the North, little is known about the situation in the South. Therefore, this project addresses this gap by creating an expert network for studying cryotourism in southern and northern peripheries.
