Tidewater glacier
Tidewater glacier. Glaciers are rivers of ice that form when compacted snow from high ground turns into ice and flows downhill under its own weight. A tidewater glacier is one that terminates at the sea. It is these glaciers that form icebergs as chunks of ice break off into the sea.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the awe-inspiring beauty of a Tidewater glacier in Svalbard, an Arctic archipelago governed by Norway. Glaciers, like this one, are nature's rivers of ice that form when compacted snow from high ground transforms into solid ice and gracefully flows downhill under its own weight. What makes this particular glacier unique is its termination point at the sea, hence earning it the name "Tidewater glacier". As chunks of ice break off into the surrounding sea, magnificent icebergs are formed. The frozen landscape captured in this image leaves us breathless as we witness the sheer power and grandeur of Mother Nature. The icy blue hues glisten against the backdrop of towering cliffs and frigid waters, reminding us of Earth's remarkable physical geography. This photograph serves as a reminder that our planet holds countless wonders waiting to be explored and understood through scientific disciplines such as glaciology and earth science. It invites us to contemplate both the fragility and resilience of our environment in the face of climate change. As we admire this stunning snapshot from Science Photo Library, let it inspire us to protect these delicate ecosystems for future generations. May it serve as a testament to nature's magnificence while urging us all to take action towards preserving our precious polar regions for years to come.
