22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
A Polar Sculpture

A frozen masterpiece drifts in Greenland’s icy waters, its reflection enhancing the ethereal blue-to-pink gradient of the Arctic sky. The smooth transition of colors evokes the calm of a Rothko painting, while the surreal presence of the iceberg lends a Dali-esque quality to the scene. A tranquil and otherworldly Arctic work of art.
