Icebergs and midnight sun
Icebergs and midnight sun, seen during the Arctic summer. In the high latitudes of the polar regions, the sun does not set during the summer. These icebergs, formed from the glacier at right, have washed up on this shoreline where they are slowly melting. Photographed in Svalbard, an Arctic archipelago governed by Norway

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing beauty of icebergs and the midnight sun in the Arctic summer. In this remote region, where the polar latitudes reign, the sun never sets during these warmer months. The image showcases a stunning shoreline in Svalbard, an Arctic archipelago governed by Norway. The icebergs featured here have broken off from a glacier on the right side of the frame and have found their way to this coastline. As they rest upon the shore, they slowly melt away, creating a fascinating spectacle. This process serves as a reminder of our changing climate and its impact on Earth's delicate ecosystems. The photograph perfectly encapsulates both natural wonder and scientific significance. It highlights key elements such as fjords, lagoons, glaciers, and icy waters that are characteristic of this unique environment. Additionally, it draws attention to pressing global issues like melting ice due to rising temperatures caused by climate change. Through this remarkable visual composition captured by Science Photo Library in collaboration with nature itself, viewers can appreciate not only the ethereal beauty but also gain insight into meteorology, glaciology, physical geography - all within one frame. Let us cherish these glimpses into our planet's wonders while acknowledging our responsibility to protect them for future generations.
