“Visions in Ice”

The interior of an ice cave under the Vatnajokull Glacier in South Iceland.

The glittering blue interior of an ice cave sparkles in this award-winning image by photographer Yasmin Namini. The cave is underneath Iceland’s Vatnajokull Glacier. Notice the deep scallops carved into the lower wall. This shape is common in melting and dissolution processes. It is unavoidable for flat surfaces exposed to a melting/dissolving flow.
