From the photographer:
This photo was taken on a glacier hike adventure in Southern Iceland of Fjallsárlón glacier (Falling glacier). This photo captures the icefall, where hundred-year-old compressed ice flows down the steep glacier bed into the glacier lagoon.
As we ventured further into the lagoon, through the fog, I could distinguish the shadow and shape of the icefall looming above. This icefall was the outlet and the final destination of the biggest ice cap in Iceland.
As we approached the glacier, the fog suddenly lifted and there was a moment of sun and light. The fog pulled back like a curtain from a stage, to reveal the towering icefall. This photo captures that exact moment – the majestic icefall with it’s incredible layers and textures of carbon and ice, shrouded by the last sheets of fog.
