Three phases of water - a photo on Flickriver

            This image contains many glaciers and mountains from the east coast of the central part of Prins Karls Forland in Svalbard. The waterfront glaciers starting from the far left are Søre Buchananisen, Midtre Buchananisen Nordre Buchananisen, Fallbreen and a little bit of Murraybreen. 

This might be my favorite shot of the entire trip. We were worried about getting sea sick because Forlandsundet (the water here) is known to get rough. But for a while, it was like glass and the sun shone on the snow and puffy white clouds. Amazing! All while shooting from the back of a rib boat traveling at about 30 knots.

For a sense of scale, consider that the tallest mountain here is about 1000 meters high, and the field of view from left to right is about 12 km.

It needs a better title, though...
