The landscape equivalent of surround sound

One in the valley

Glacier-ice close-ups in large format

Gold foil-covered rocks bring bright spots to the monochromatic landscape

Gullstrandfjellet from the edge of Fridtjovbreen

In the fallout zone at glacier’s edge

Glacier ice, smooth and blue, and gray and rock-filled

View from Fridtjovbreen Glacier

Hisingerfjellet across the bay

Antigua at anchor

Fridtjovbreen and its mountain companions

The face of Fridtjovbreen
