Landscape with glaciers, Kangaamiut, Greenland
A glacier is a persistent body of dense ice that is constantly moving under its own weight; it forms where the accumulation of snow exceeds its ablation (melting and sublimation) over many years, often centuries. Glaciers slowly deform and flow due to stresses induced by their weight, creating crevasses, seracs, and other distinguishing features. They also abrade rock and debris from their substrate to create landforms such as cirques and moraines. Glaciers form only on land and are distinct from the much thinner sea ice and lake ice that form on the surface of bodies of water

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Landscape with glaciers, Kangaamiut, Greenland" by Danita Delimont takes us on a visual journey to the icy wonders of nature. The image showcases the breathtaking beauty and power of glaciers in all their glory. The vast expanse of frozen landscape stretches as far as the eye can see, with towering glaciers dominating the scene. These majestic formations are a result of centuries-long accumulation of snow that exceeds its melting and sublimation rate. As we gaze at this photograph, we can almost feel the weight and movement of these immense bodies of ice. The slow deformation and flow caused by their own weight have shaped these glaciers into remarkable features. Crevasses zigzag across their surface while seracs jut out like frozen sculptures against an overcast sky. We can also witness evidence of their erosive power as they scrape rock and debris from beneath them, creating awe-inspiring landforms such as cirques and moraines. In this image devoid of human presence, we are reminded not only of the grandeur but also the fragility of our planet's icy realms. The cold temperatures captured in this moment serve as a reminder that these landscapes exist in delicate balance amidst changing climates. Danita Delimont's skillful composition allows us to appreciate both the magnificence and vulnerability encapsulated within this frozen world. This print is a testament to nature's ability to create extraordinary wonders that leave us humbled in their presence.
