EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this breathtaking print captured by the talented duo Steffen & Alexandra Sailer, we are transported to the enchanting world of Franz Josef Glacier. Nestled amidst towering mountains and blanketed by lush primeval rainforest, this glacial valley is a true testament to the wonders of Mother Nature. While many glaciers around the globe have sadly been retreating, Franz Josef Glacier and its neighboring Fox Glacier continue to flow almost all the way down to sea level. These resilient giants stand as a symbol of nature's resilience and beauty. Located within Westland National Park, which forms part of South West New Zealand World Heritage Area, this awe-inspiring sight showcases Earth's incredible diversity. As we gaze upon this frozen marvel cutting through the valley, it reminds us of our planet's remarkable geological history. The image captures not only the grandeur of these icy formations but also highlights their significance in shaping our environment. The process known as calving can be seen in action here – where chunks of ice break off from the glacier into water below – creating an ever-changing landscape that continues to amaze visitors from across the globe. So let your imagination soar as you admire this mesmerizing photograph; let yourself be transported to a land where ice meets forest and ancient meets modern - truly an extraordinary slice of paradise!
