Letters from the Landscape

Lilliehookbreen is a massive tidewater glacier in northwest Svalbard, calving icebergs into the fjord below. This particular berg had drifted some distance from the glacier face, sitting alone in dark, choppy water with smaller fragments scattered around it. The colour is remarkable. That vivid blue-green comes from centuries of compression forcing air out of the ice, and it glows even under heavy cloud cover like this.

The sky was threatening all day. Dark storm clouds pressed low over the mountains on both sides of the fjord, with just a thin break of diffused light along the horizon. It gave everything a cold, muted quality that made the ice colour even more prominent. The surrounding water is near-black, which isolates the berg beautifully in the frame!

Svalbard's fjords are changing fast. Glaciers like Lilliehookbreen are retreating year on year, and scenes like this carry a weight that's hard to ignore.

Before you buy

When will it arrive?

You'll get an email with tracking as soon as it ships. If it's for a date, a birthday, an anniversary or a new home, add a note at checkout or email me at info@petercox.ie. I'll do my best to prioritise it and give you a realistic timeline.

What does shipping cost?

I ship worldwide, and every print from Exhibition size up goes free to Ireland, the UK and Europe. Studio prints and books carry a small charge, and the cost for the size you've chosen is shown under the Add to Cart button. The full table is on our Shipping page, and you'll see the exact cost at checkout before you pay. Every parcel is tracked and insured. Within the EU there's no customs duty; outside it, any import duty or tax is the buyer's to pay.

Does the size include the frame?

Yes. A framed size is the whole frame, edge to edge: 3 inches bigger each way than the print inside it. An unframed size is the sheet of paper, including the white border where I sign and title each print by hand. Canvas and Floating Panel sizes are the face of the piece.
