rachelle mackintosh, Bauble (LANDSCAPE 2025)

With its savage storms, jagged peaks, and colossal glaciers, South Georgia Island is a place of wild extremes. This scene appeared on a stormy day as our expedition ship was leaving the island to continue towards the Antarctic continent. The blue iceberg seemed so refined and decorative to me (like a bauble or garnish) against the muted drama of the surrounding mountains and stormy skies. Snapped handheld from the ship.
