Antarctic Icebergs Panoramic - Polar Ice Landscape Photography

Sale price$39.00
Material:
Size:

Tabular icebergs and snow-covered peaks stretch across the Antarctic horizon in a panorama that compresses the seventh continent's defining feature into a single frame: scale you cannot quite trust. The icebergs in this image broke off the ice shelves of the Weddell or Ross Sea — flat-topped, sheer-sided, often miles long, the result of a glacier reaching the ocean and snapping under its own weight. Antarctica holds roughly seventy percent of the planet's fresh water and ninety percent of the world's ice, almost none of it accessible to anyone without a research permit and a strong stomach. The world's largest desert, photographed from the very small platform of a ship.
