EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the year 1950, where the US Coast Guard cutter Acushnet finds itself in a mesmerizing encounter with an awe-inspiring ice giant. The vessel appears minuscule in comparison to the colossal crescent-shaped iceberg that towers above it, reaching a staggering height of over 200 feet above sea level. What makes this icy behemoth even more remarkable is the fact that a whopping 85% of its mass lies hidden beneath the water's surface, making it larger than even the iconic Empire State Building. The photographer Evans skillfully captures this breathtaking moment, showcasing not only the sheer magnitude of nature but also highlighting mankind's humble existence when confronted by such natural wonders. The monochromatic tones add an air of timelessness to the image, emphasizing both its historical significance and artistic value. This photograph serves as a reminder of our place within the grandeur of Earth's natural world. It evokes feelings of wonder and insignificance simultaneously as we witness one small vessel navigating through vast expanses dominated by towering ice formations. As we gaze upon this extraordinary scene frozen in time, we cannot help but be reminded of nature's immense power and beauty – forever humbling us in its presence.
