21st Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
Deluxe View on the Melting

This remote lodge in Greenland offers a unique and astonishing view on the Eqi Glacier, one of the most productive glaciers in the northern atmosphere. The immersion in nature is total, and the only sound is the deep rumble of huge chunks of iceberg breaking off from the glacier, and slowly melting in the bay. A breathtaking spectacle, yet a saddening reminder of the warming of our polar regions.
