24 hour daylight and the light, weather and atmosphere can change from moment to moment
A snow storm passes in front of the glacier. 

Ny Alsund: Spitzbergen.

It is true to say that this harsh, yet beautiful and fragile place had a huge effect on me, changing my career, giving me the drive to show the world's beautiful places, and the changes that we are creating through our continued use of fossil fuels.

A favourite image, which gets a lot of attention from time to time.
Thank you, every fave and every comment is an encouragement!

Taken in: Svalbard / Svalbard (show map)
