Fragile Rivers of Ice
This image, taken from a transatlantic flight over Greenland, shows two glaciers meeting on their journey to the Eastern seashore. The sun reflecting from a pool of meltwater adds highlights to the point where the streams of ice meet. This image conveys the stunning but fragile beauty of our polar landscape sliding slowly towards an uncertain future.
