Frozen Planet by Concurrence Collective

Description

There’s something about winter in the Canadian Rockies that calls to the heart of the adventurer. Snow-capped peaks tower over pristine and untouched landscapes, where rolling slopes and patterns play a beautiful contrast between light and shadow in the midday sun. Deep within the heart of these landscapes, rest some of the most impressive glacier treasures. Massive sheets of ice rise up from frozen rivers and ice caves the size of a house sit waiting to be discovered. But the trail into these frozen lands is often unmarked, and challenging in distance as well as conditions, requiring one to brave the raw and relentless elements of nature not limited to -40 degree celsius temperatures. This particular cave, nicknamed “Big Blue,” captivates the senses and leaves one breathless in awe-inspiring beauty. Stretching far beneath the glacier, the ceiling and surrounding walls constructed by shelves and sheets of ice open up like an amphitheater glowing richly with otherworldly hues of blue. How strange it feels to know that this cave will one-day cease to exist as the rise of global temperatures continues to measure yearly record-breaking melts. As a result, the journey to this cave becomes longer and more difficult each year. Deep crevasses and snow bridges line the entranceway in a labyrinth, requiring a thoughtful and trained approach. But the effort is rewarded simply by an experience of a lifetime and the opportunity to document far more than an adventure, but a fleeting moment in time itself. An image captured in March 2022.
