Story:
Glaciers are shrinking or vanishing like the glacier some in Bolivia. I made an impressive image in 1989 of the ice caves called “Grutas de Zongo”. Today dusty rocks are the only remaining’s, and the ice from the distant past is gone.
I wanted to take new images of ice caves and remembered seeing an article of caves in Iceland. Early in that morning I started checking on the Internet: the location of the caves and when to visit. By end of the day, I had air tickets, hotel booking, rental car, and a guided tour to the caves.
Nine months later I would be stepping into the airplane and a week later, walking with crampons in the cave. I took my faithful Rollei 6006 film camera as well as a Sony A7R. Made many images with both, until the Rollei due to the extreme cold, had a malfunction, destroying its mechanism forever.
These are some of the images I took at the ice cave with the Sony A7R, showing ice from the distant past.
