22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
Skyfall
A moulin is a vertical or near-vertical shaft carved into a glacier by meltwater. Over time, surface streams erode the ice, forming deep, striking channels that can plunge hundreds of meters into the glacier. This night a Kp9 aurora storm hit the earth and we wanted to capture a climber on ice mixed with the auroras above.
