Icy Solitude

Iceland was such a surreal place to explore, and while there are
many iconic locations I managed to make images of, this one to
me is pretty special. The sheer size of the glaciers that power the
country is mind-blowing, and I couldn't think of a better way to
showcase that than by showing a human figure trying to scale the
vast expanse of the glacier. This image was the consequence of a
spontaneous action, and I didn't realize how quickly I raised the
camera to my eye and pressed the shutter.
