Finalist Conservation (Impact) Photographer of the Year

Scott Portelli Barents Sea, Arctic

79°09'28.2"N 23°31'55.9"E

A melting ice shelf in the Arctic creates waterfalls. “The shelf extends for hundreds of kilometres along the high Arctic landscape. The jagged edges show the sheer magnitude of ice protruding into the ocean,” says Portelli. “As temperatures increase, the rate of glacial melt increases, causing dramatic raging waterfalls to drain into the ocean. The impacts will be felt almost immediately for life in the Arctic.”
