Into The Blue Cathedral

Earth In Focus Photography CompetitionNaturescapes

Along the Matanuska Glacier in Alaska, I stepped inside nature’s cathedral carved in ice; only accessible by helicopter. The helicopter was dwarfed by the immense scale of this glacial ice cave. Ice, light, and adventure come together in this vast frozen wilderness.

About the photographer

Amber is a photographer who loves being out in nature, seeking unique compositions that tell stories and capture emotions. Sometimes that means waiting for clouds to change, fog to pass, or a humpback whale to move its fin. Her passion for landscape and wildlife photography began 15 years ago during an underwater whale-watching trip with her husband. What started with a simple GoPro has evolved into a full-frame camera and underwater housing. Over the years, Amber has planned her travels around the animals she hopes to photograph, researching where and when to find them. All her images capture wildlife in natural habitats, never captivity.
