Polly Tootal, Photographer, London

Description

This landscape photograph captured by Polly Tootal presents a wide, high-angle view of a melting glacier landscape. Large swaths of protective white textile sheeting cover portions of the ice and rocky moraine to slow glacial melt. A calm, pale turquoise-green glacial meltwater lake fills the foreground, bordered by grey gravel banks and ice formations. Several small human figures stand near the water's edge, providing scale to the vast surrounding glacial terrain. Natural daylight illuminates the scene with soft, overcast lighting, highlighting the textures of ice, fabric, and stone.
