22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
A Journey Through Ice
This photograph captures the icy interior of the Jungfraujoch, a breathtaking mountain pass in the Swiss Alps often referred to as the "Top of Europe." The passageway, carved entirely out of solid ice, reflects the glow of artificial lighting, creating an otherworldly atmosphere. With its smooth, frozen walls and polished floor, the tunnel leads visitors deep into the heart of the glacier, offering a unique glimpse of the alpine world.
