In northern New Mexico, a mountain range rises more than a mile above the surrounding desert, a wild, rugged land of the Faraway Nearby. The volcanic Jemez Mountains are isolated from all other ranges--an island in the sky, surrounded by a desert sea. Environmental filmmaker John Grabowska profiles this enchanting landscape and humankind's place within it, where the effects of dramatic climate change are already transforming the desert and alpine ecosystems.
