Glacier and Rock Outcrop - Alaska Aerial Landscape Photography

Sale price$39.00
Material:
Size:

An aerial view across an Alaskan glacier, where a dark rock ridge — a nunatak — splits the ice into two slow streams that rejoin below it. The long parallel bands are medial moraines: lines of rock debris carried along the seams where separate ice flows meet, a running record of everything the glacier has stripped from the mountains above. Alaska has more glaciers than any other US state, and most are thinning measurably year over year as the climate warms. Photographed from a small plane in flat overcast light that holds detail across the ice without blowing out the highlights. Geology caught mid-motion, from above.
