there's no indication that she's trying to raise awareness of glacial melting as a social problem. this is art, which can but doesn't have to be political.

So wait, this person flew up to Iceland (nice carbon footprint there) made the recordings, then used a good amount of electricity to freeze the ice, make the records (how this was done would be interesting to know) and then put it out for all to hear. This I see as not being in any way, shape, or sonic form beneficial towards making people more aware of the fact that the glaciers have been, are and will be melting for a long time. Record a faucet dripping and make issue over lack of clean water in third world countries. BTW – Before you fire back, I grew up in Alaska, walked on the glaciers and have huge respect for those that want to do something positive for making people aware of the issues. This I just don't see as being relevant to the discussion.
