Held by Ice

Kenai Fjords, Alaska

Along the wild coastline of Kenai Fjords, an immense wall of glacial ice folds itself around an outcrop of black Alaskan rock, creating a striking collision of color, texture and scale.

What captivated me was the contrast. Brilliant blue ice appears almost luminous against the dark granite beneath it, while fragments of the glacier drift quietly across the glassy water below. There is tremendous power in this landscape, yet in this moment, everything felt remarkably still.
