The fleeting beauty of Arctic ice: the impressive, large-format illustrated book "The Essence of Ice" tells the story of the life cycle of ice through epic photo essays – from its formation deep within Greenland to its luminous demise against the backdrop of Arctic sunsets over the sea. The spectacular photographs depict gigantic glaciers, deep-blue ice lakes, calving icebergs and delicate crystal formations with poignant clarity. Like a silent breath, the thought “Only what is fleeting can be truly beautiful” runs through the work – visually powerful, poetic, hauntingly beautiful.
