Icebergs Series by Vancouver photographer David Burdeny.

During 2007 and into the spring of 2008, I made several long journeys to the upper and lower extremes of our planet to photograph the shorelines, monolithic ice forms and landscapes of Greenland, Iceland and Antarctica. Most of these places are arduous to reach, beyond the borders of domestic transportation routes, accessible only by small aircraft or boat. All are endangered to some extent – threatened by tourism, climate change, industry and the hunt for oil.

The photo pictured at top, Iceberg 01, Greenland, 2007, helped win Burdeny the title of IPA Nature Photographer of the Year, 2008. Scroll to the second half of the Young Gallery page to see his equally surreal Shorelines Series, made along the shorelines of Japan, Northern France, and the Pacific Northwest.
