Portage Glacier, Alaska
I wanted this shot to represent the true image of Alaska—a moonlit glacier. I knew the moon was full and set up my tripod on the edge of the glacial pond. The night was freezing, but adrenaline fueled me as I saw the glow of the moon rising over the horizon. It was an incredible experience, amongst the glaciers and icebergs lit by a full blue moon. My entire body was full of goose bumps when I pressed the shutter.

Madison ★★★★★

The full moon’s reflection on that still glacial pond is so crisp it feels like I could step right into the shot. You can almost feel the freezing night air on your face just by looking at the detail in the ice.

Abigail D. ★★★★★

The icy blue tones in the water and glacier are so crisp it feels like I'm standing on that freezing shore myself. The detail in the moonlight reflecting off the pond is unreal for a print this size.

Ellie V. ★★★★★

The moon looks impossibly sharp hanging over that glacier, and the frozen pond in the foreground pulls you right into the scene. I keep noticing new details in the ice cracks every time I look at it.
