Labyrinth (2026)

The literal name of this section of a wall of almost a thousand meters[1] of near vertical ice, a slowly shapeshifting maze of seracs, flowing, fracturing, the light refracting and revealing the beautiful blue ice glow of the (dying) glacier... No photo can do justice (to the scale and impressions). For reference, the cliffs in the foreground are ~2.4 km (1.5 miles) in front and the path to the ice goes first over/across them...

(Ps. I will keep posting my images of glaciers and their precious fragile environments until someone tells me off, and then probably continue anyway... To me they're some of most fascinating and important envs in the world, their changes/losses having vast implications elsewhere too.)

[1] ...much more if one includes the more shallow sections above/below...
