When you’re in the exact spot in which you photographed a Vatnajökull ice cave a couple of years prior, to find yourself stood in a dry gravel parking lot, you realise just how fast and visibly Iceland’s glaciers are disappearing…

Chill Out : The End of Winter in Iceland

Even better, the stillness […]
Hooker Lake : New Zealand, Frozen in Time
That brief moment, just before sunrise, when it’s no longer night – but the day is still yet to arrive – that was the moment when I captured this view of Hooker Lake, in the foothills of New Zealand’s Mount Cook.
