Alaska Aerial Glacier and Mountains - Moody Landscape Photography

Sale price$45.00
Material:
Size:

A glacier curls between dark mountain walls under heavy overcast, photographed from a small aircraft crossing the ice. Alaska holds roughly twenty-seven thousand glaciers — valley glaciers like this one behave as slow rivers of ice, flowing downhill under their own weight and dragging rock debris into the dark medial stripes that trace their path. The diffuse light of a closed sky strips the scene of hard shadow, leaving a near-monochrome study of ice, rock, and weather. From the air the glacier reads as a single continuous form, its curve the only soft line in a landscape of fractured stone. The photograph captures the high country at its most severe.
