On Fire

Bråsvellbreen, Nordaustlandet, Svalbard

This picture was taken at 11 PM, shortly after we rounded a corner of the ice wall at Bråsvellbreen. This section of the ice wall was mostly in shadow … but the waterfall at the corner was completely backlit! The sun and clouds also nicely lit up the smooth ice cap (visible in the background above the wall).
