Iceberg (Disko Island, Greenland)

Captured in this image is a solitary iceberg, its top partially revealed, cradling a luminous pool between its two peaks. Standing 20-50 ft tall, these majestic ice sculptures worked well with my minimal approach to heighten the iceberg's presence with only water and sky within the frame.
