Towering spires of ancient ice rise dramatically from the waters of Alaska's South Sawyer Glacier, revealing a jagged facade of compressed snow transformed over millennia. The characteristic blue tint—a result of ice absorbing red light while reflecting blue wavelengths—showcases the dynamic nature of these rapidly changing ice fields, where each crevasse and pinnacle tells a story of geological time compressed into frozen architecture.
