Iceberg floating in the sea. Photographed off the western coast of Greenland
Iceberg floating in the sea. Photographed off the western coast of Greenland, in the Ilulissat Icefjord. This fjord is the birthplace of thousands of icebergs, with the glacier at its eastern end producing over 20 billion tonnes of ice a year. In 2004, the Ilulissat Icefjord was made a UNESCO World Heritage Site

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the serene beauty of an iceberg floating in the vast expanse of the sea. Taken off the western coast of Greenland, in the renowned Ilulissat Icefjord, this image showcases a remarkable natural phenomenon. The fjord serves as a birthplace for thousands of icebergs, with its eastern glacier producing an astonishing 20 billion tonnes of ice annually. The photograph provides a glimpse into the geological wonders that shape our planet. The icy stream flowing from the melting glacier creates a frozen spectacle, while the majestic berg stands tall amidst its surroundings. The tranquil waters reflect both nature's power and fragility. As we admire this scene, it is important to recognize how climate change impacts these pristine landscapes. With discussions on global warming and rising sea levels becoming increasingly urgent, images like this serve as reminders of Earth's vulnerability. This very fjord was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2004 due to its ecological significance and unique glacial formations. Photographer Robbie Shone expertly captures not only the physical elements but also conveys a sense of awe and respect for our planet's delicate balance. Through his lens, we witness nature at its most breathtaking – an invitation to appreciate Earth's marvels and protect them for generations to come.
