這些令人驚嘆的圖像出自一位現實中的“冰雪女王” - 32歲的捷克女攝影師 Marketa Kalvachova之手,她一直致力於捕捉冰島和格陵蘭島那些美麗雄偉的冰川。
“我喜歡冰川呈現的深淺不同的藍色,觀察得越仔細,發現就越多。看得越多,就越發現它們的變化是如此之驚人。”Kalvachova說,“而潟湖、瀑布,更是讓冰川世界變得豐富而動人。”
The real Ice Queen: Woman, 32, dedicates her entire life to capturing sublime beauty of glaciers (but will never succeed because they keep melting!)
These stunning images are the work of the real-life 'Ice Queen', photographer Marketa Kalvachova.
The 32-year-old from the Czech Republic has devoted her life to capturing the beauty of the majestic glaciers found in Iceland and Greenland.
While there may be a limited supply of glaciers, the visionary photographer says her mission will never be complete thanks to the constantly changing nature of the landscape.
'I love the many different shades of blue you can find when you look harder,' Ms Kalvachova says. 'The lagoons and waterfalls make for out of this world pictures and the more you see the more breathtaking they become.'
