Humanity owes its very existence to glaciers since they have been here during two million years of human history and have created landscapes, determined soil composition, and controlled the atmospheric and oceanic circulations that drive global weather systems (Knight 2-3). The rapacity of global colonial ‘terraforming’ of utilitarian landscapes for capitalist profit (Ghosh 63) has driven Earth ecologies and ecosystems has into a state of anthropogenic disruption (Sheller 1). A similar case is seen in Pakistan where rapid glacial decline is posing serious challenges to water security, shifting the snowline, and causing upward migration of animals and plants species (Rasul et al. 4). Focusing on this climatic emergency, Uzma Khan’s novel Thinner than Skin (2012) depicts the growing endangerment of glaciers and nomadic Gujjar community as observed by the protagonist, Nadir in his journey to photograph the majestic mountains of Kaghan (Northern Pakistan). This essay highlights the effectiveness of Thinner than Skin in documenting the cryosocial disruption caused by climate change through an analysis of photographic witnessing of glacial harm and the Gujjar practices of subversive mobility (Lelièvre) and ice-mating as a counter-active measures to increasing environmental degradation. By doing so, the essay establishes the significance of Thinner than Skin as postcolonial climate fiction that documents the destabilizing effects of climate change as it intensifies poverty, deterritoriality, marginalization of indigenous people (Crate and Nuttall 12) and emphasizes the importance of indigenous knowledge in restoring human-nonhuman reciprocity (Whyte 157) to work towards multi-generational climate change adaptation.
