Global warming is accelerating the decay of glaciers. The melting creates tunnels, caves and streams inside the glaciers. Trapped oxygen in the ice gives a blue hue, and layers of black volcanic ash from repeated volcano eruptions over the thousands of years are exposed.
Photo shows a tunnel inside a glacier with flowing icemelt and a man exiting the tunnel. Ironically, unlike the photo, there is seemingly no light at the end of the tunnel for the global warming problem.

The pandemic prompted a rethink of life and fired a desire to travel, see and understand the world. Travelling the world to open my eyes and mind, I strive to use my humble skill to capture the human condition through the lens.
