crystal clear waters give the feeling of a tropical paradise. Icebergs and sub zero water temperatures tell another story
When you find ice this colour it really takes your breath away! / / (Spitsbergen – Scandinavian Arctic) / /
This picture was taken in Switzerland on the Kleinmatterhorn Glacier (inside the mountain where there is access deep down into the glacier). There is no alteration whatsoever but I had to put my camera on automatic option to get the colours present.

Jökulsárlón is the best known and the largest of a number of glacial lakes in Iceland. It is situated at the south end of the glacier Vatnajökull between Skaftafell National Park and Höfn. Appearing first only in 1934-1935, the lake grew from 7.9 km² in 1975 to at least 18 km² today because of heavy melting of the Icelandic glaciers. Approaching a depth of 200 m, Jökulsárlón is now probably the second deepest lake in Iceland. Jökulsárlón is separated from the sea by only a short distance, and the combined action of the glacier, the river that empties from the lake, and the ocean may eventually transform it into an inlet of the sea. There are plans to prevent this from happening, since the only road in the area passes over the narrow isthmus. It is not far from the Icelandic Ring Road, and buses travelling between Höfn and Reykjavík usually stop there. The lake is filled with icebergs, which are calving off the Breiðamerkurjökull glacier. At its shore, in the summertime, one has to watch out for the skúas, big seagulls which have their nests on the ground around the lake and which can occasionally become aggressive. Near Jökulsárlón, there are two other glacial lakes, Fjallsárlón and Breiðárlón.

The Sun rises beyond Makalu, Makalu rises beyond snow dunes on Island Peak. Light that has travelled 93 million miles, illuminates the snow, creating these sensual lines and shadows. People dare not tread here.

This is my driveway near Kresgeville, Pennsylvania. This was a beautiful sunny day right after a big storm. It was very beautiful and I was glad I had a snow day to enjoy it. Canon AE1 Film Camera 250 shutter speed 200 film 70-210 zoom lens.

The white, snow covered northern face of Custer Mountain contrasts with the dark waters of Cameron lake and the two forested mountains to either side. This image was captured in Waterton Lakes National Park in southern Alberta, Canada. Custer Mountain, and the southern tip of Cameron Lake actually lie in the United States, within Glacier National Park. Taken with a Canon Rebel XSi using an 18-55mm IS lens.

A dense snow cloud descends over the top of Turtle Mountain, promising more snow on the already snow-covered face of Frank’s Slide, the scar from a huge landslide that broke from the side of Turtle Mountain. Captured at Frank Slide, near Blairmore, Alberta, Canada. / Taken with a Canon Rebel XSi using an 18-55mm IS lens. The Frank Slide is a natural landslide feature in the southern Rocky Mountains of Canada, and a significant historical event in western Canada. Frank, Alberta is a coal mining town in the Crowsnest Pass, Alberta. On April 29, 1903, at 4:10 a.m., 90 million tonnes (30 million cubic metres) of limestone crashed from the east face of Turtle Mountain and covered approximately three square kilometres of the valley floor. The slab of rock that broke free was approximately 650 m high, 900 m wide and 150 m thick1. The slide dammed the Crowsnest River and formed a small lake, covered 2km of the Canadian Pacific Railway, destroyed most of the coal mine’s surface infrastructure, and buried seven houses on the outskirts of the sleeping town of Frank, as well as several rural buildings. Frank was home to approximately 600 people in 1903; of the roughly 100 individuals who lived in the path of the slide, 76 were killed. The town was evacuated, but people were soon allowed to return and both the mine and the railway were back in operation within a month. The town of Frank continued to grow, until a report on the mountain’s stability resulted in the provincial government ordering the closure of the south part of the town in 1911. Studies and monitoring continue today. / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I captured this scene during a visit to Alaska this summer. I thought it shows various elements that people are familiar with Alaska: The fishing, mountains and the glaciers. As Shot
