Haunting face crying a river of tears as glacier melts into the sea

"At first glimpse it looks like any other glacier you might find in the freezing Arctic wastes of Norway. But on closer inspection an eerie face is depicted in the melting ice wall that appears to be crying a river of tears. The forlorn-looking 'Mother Nature' figure appeared to locals during a thaw, with the melting ice and snow falling towards the sea below. The striking image of the Austfonna ice cap, located on Nordaustlandet in the Svalbard archipelago, would seem certain to be heavily used by environmentalists protesting against climate change.

Photographical

"I can take the road of personal photographic development, branching off on any lane I choose, returning, revisiting and exploring at will. What's also great is that the seasons and where I am in the world have a real impact on much of this also. This, I think, is critical to the quality of all my work. It is, for me the approach which keep my work fresh, and allows me to be inspired by so much that I see."
