The shot above was taken on the same trip as this other shot of a Tree at the side of the Moreno Glacier. We were about to do the ice-trek and this was taken looking towards the supply hut where we picked up the crampons…
Again, the picture was taken slightly underexposed to bring out the blue in the ice, and the clouds in the sky. I used the tilt shift (45mm) lens again too, focussing on the shard like glacier ice.
If you click on the image above to view the image large, you can see the line of small dots snaking away from the hut, and onto the glacier – that’s the ice-trekking tour people. Gives some idea of the size of the glacier, truly enormous and humbling!
With the glacier moving past the hut (which is on the solid ground to the side of the river of ice) at about 2m per day, the tour guides have new scenery outside their base every day, and no doubt have to re-plan their routes through the ice crevices and pools.
