To Athena Performs Inside Melting Morteratsch Glacier Cave

Swiss artist To Athena (Tiffany Athena Limacher) and her band performed inside a melting ice cave at the Morteratsch Glacier in the Swiss Alps in March 2026, in collaboration with Greenpeace. The band—featuring two violinists, a cellist, and a keyboard player—played her song "Collide," which explores burnout and being pushed to limits. The glacier is shrinking by about 50 meters (164 feet) per year, and the cave is unlikely to survive another summer due to rising temperatures. Limacher said singing the song in the cave felt intense and freeing, matching the message and mood. She hopes the performance inspires people to join Greenpeace in protecting the planet.
