Chang W. Lee

Chang W. Lee is a photographer for The New York Times. He is currently documenting a scientific expedition to the Thwaites Glacier in Antarctica. Lee's photographs provide visual documentation of the scientists' work, the harsh environment, and the challenges they face while studying the rapidly melting glacier. His images capture the setting up of camp, drilling operations, and the overall landscape of the Thwaites Glacier. Lee's work is newsworthy because it provides the public with a visual understanding of the important research being conducted on the glacier and the implications of its melting for global sea levels. He also took a photo of the 2024 South Korean plane crash site, which is relevant as a report was recently released about the cause of the crash.
