Congratulations to ArturS for winning Feature Thread of the Week with 14 votes - View Previous Winners


Glaciers tend to be abundant with hidden “treasures” that are usually hard, but not impossible to spot. This is not a particularly welcoming world, but if one finds it, the richness of its internal beauty can leave the spectator speechless. The Turner Glacier located on Baffin Island hosts many camouflaged spots where nature-made frozen processes take place. I discovered this icy chamber during one of the days that were cursed by absolutely clear sky. This is not my favourite type of weather and on days like that I tend to look for more interesting places. I crawled inside one of the holes in the glacier and explored it for couple of hours. What I saw there is hard to describe. Luckily, I had my camera with me so I was able to capture on this photo the unseen beauty of this desolated underworld.

Comments as usually will be appreciated.

Hey Artur,

What a cool shot, though it feels very scary even without your description. Well done here.

Its amazing especially since the view is looking out and there are no tracks visible.

You and others inspired me to look up travel to Nunavat (Baffin) or Labrador (Torngat) and besides the 2 grand or more airfare from Montreal its basically uninhabited, so logistically quite a challenge. Kudos for your efforts.

My guess is this is much smaller than it looks. I bet you can't even squeeze between the gap in the middle area.

I love this composition. Great work. I'd have to say I think this is my favorite ice shot I've seen period. My eye travels around in interest of all the beautiful details.

Many thanks everyone. For those who are wondering about the size : I took this photo with tripod fully extended. The height of the cave above me was about 10 feet. It was the system of channels connected with crevasses about 800 meters long. The light comes from the opening in the celling not from the entrance. If you were above, on the surface you would see the crevasse. If you are wondering about flat bottom, it is because the channel is filled with water in the short summer and connected with a small lake on the glacier. It would be impossible to get this shot in the summer.
