TITLE: Arctic Ice

After months of darkness, the sun rises above the horizon in Svalbard to reveal a beautiful winter scene where sea ice dominates the landscape. Despite starting this particular day under the soft light of a rising sun, a distant snow storm quickly moved into the frame, shrouding the dramatic Arctic landscape in black and white.

Amateur photographer of wildlife and outdoor scenes, inspired by a love of travel. I'm an Australian based in the UK who feels most at home when exploring the world beyond it. I feel particularly connected to Africa and the polar regions and feel energised by locations offering the opportunity to see wildlife thriving in its natural habitat.
