Silty Pass | Scoresbysund, Greenland
From altitude above Scoresbysund, the schooner Hildur has carved a perfect circle through silty glacial water - a white wake ring suspended in deep blue, the boat tiny at its edge.

"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's waters carry a permanent load of glacial sediment - fine rock flour ground from the fjord walls over thousands of years and suspended in the surface layer, giving the water its characteristic milky blue. When a vessel turns hard in these conditions the wake becomes visible as a bright contrasting ring against the darker water below, and from altitude that geometry is absolute. The Hildur - the wooden schooner that made this Greenland expedition possible - traced this circle without knowing what it would look like from above.
The image is deceptively simple: one circle, one boat, two shades of blue. That simplicity is precisely what makes it work on a wall - it holds attention without demanding it, and rewards the moment someone finally notices the boat at the edge of the ring.
