18th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Frozen in time
Visiting the Ice Caves in Iceland was a dream come true for me and my wife. We had planned this trip earlier but had to postpone it due to my Injury. Reaching here included hiking on the Glacier in super windy conditions for hours but all the trouble was completely worth it. This image shows my wife exploring the Glacier Cave. Every year the Glacier melts and new Ice caves are formed. I feel lucky to witness such a wonder of nature but also feel sad for the future generations that they might not be able to see this if nothing is done to reduce the global warming
