Greenland

The first time I saw the Ilulissat Icefjord, I genuinely couldn't make sense of the scale. Icebergs the size of apartment blocks were calving from the Sermeq Kujalleq glacier and drifting out into Disko Bay, and I stood there on the boardwalk trying to comprehend what I was looking at. It was unlike anything I'd experienced before, and I knew I'd have to come back.

I've since returned to both the west and east coasts, and Greenland has become one of my favourite places on earth to photograph. The Arctic light is remarkable. In late summer it barely dips below the horizon, and the low sun paints the ice in shades of gold, pink and deep blue that shift by the minute. Every iceberg is different, sculpted by wind and current into shapes that wouldn't look out of place in a gallery!

These images are from those trips. Each one is a reminder of standing in genuinely cold air, surrounded by silence and ice, feeling very small and very fortunate to be there.
