Otherworldly …
Iceberg silhouettes at dawn.
FRISCO — It’s been a while since I delved this deep into the archives, but as I scrolled through the Antarctica folder, I realized that I’ve only posted a small percentage of all the iceberg pictures I shot during our trip to the Antarctic Peninsula four years ago. Since then, I’ve scribbled dozens of stories about the impacts of global warming in the region, and each time I write and post one of those, I think about the hours we spent floating in this otherworldly realm. There so much at stake for this region — temperatures around the Antarctic Peninsula are warming twice as fast as the global average, ice shelves are collapsing and warming ocean temps are threatening to push some ecosystems over the brink. Please browse through some of the recent Summit Voice stories on Antarctica and share them on your own social media networks to spread the word.
The sky went through every color of the spectrum during a dawn that seemingly lasted for several hours, finally revealing the characteristic blue ice of the bergs on some facets, while reflecting the pinks and oranges of the sky on others.

Aglow …
It’s hard to imagine the forces that sculpted this chunk of floating ice.
