Description:
Printed with a 12 inkjet printer over Hahnemühle Baryta paper. Signed certificate of authenticity.
Story:
During this trip with my son, we both had the goal to walk over the glacier. Due to Covid, the number of trips per day that the Grey III boat were limited. We could not take the early boat towards the glacier and return on the 4th trip that was late enough to allow us to trek over the ice for a couple of hours.
Nevertheless, we were able to take a kayak tour that went towards where the floating icebergs were located.
During my first visit in 2002, the glacier was divided into 2 tongues. Sadly, this year there are now 3 tongues, each smaller compared to what I saw early this century. The entire section where I walked vanished, based on image GPS data of then and now, two kilometers melted away.
This is an image of the dramatic shrinking of the glacier.
