ENTRY DESCRIPTION
The polar regions are the most climate-sensitive areas in the world, and temperatures in the Arctic are rising more than twice as fast as the global average. This increase in temperatures results in large changes in sea ice conditions, with both thickness and extent following negative trends.

This image was taken in northern Svalbard in late May, and captures the beauty of the icy environment, and possibly a scene that will slowly disappear in future decades.

AUTHOR
Nadia de Lange is a fine art photographer based in Zurich, Switzerland. She aims to capture the soul of her subject, be it a landscape, building or animal, transforming what others see in the scene into what she sees when looking through the lens. Using mainly black and white, the emphasis is on form and contrast and how the interaction between these elements create beauty.
