Sailing Through the Stars | Scoresbysund, Greenland
From altitude above Scoresbysund, a vessel picks its way through drifting ice - each floe casting a pale shape on the dark water, the ship a small deliberate line moving through a field of scattered white.

"The quality of the images was greater than I could have ever hoped for. I am proud to call myself a collector of his work."
Matthew D. ·
Scoresbysund on Greenland's east coast is the largest and deepest fjord system on earth. In late summer and autumn the sea ice that has drifted south from the polar pack breaks into individual floes and spreads across the fjord surface - some the size of a car, others the size of a house, all of them moving slowly on the current. Navigating through this kind of ice requires constant course corrections, and from altitude that path becomes visible as a trace through the white field - the vessel too small against the scale of the fjord to read as anything other than a mark on a surface.
The image works through the contrast between the precision of the vessel and the randomness of the ice around it - dark water, scattered white, one moving point. It suits spaces that can hold something with real graphic weight and a strong sense of scale.
