FIRE AND ICE GLACIER

FIRE and ice themed images from under a glacier will send a shiver down your spine. By precisely lining up the rising sun against the inside of a glacial tunnel one talented maths teacher turned his journey inside the ice into an incredible lightshow. Other pictures show the details of this natural wonder formed by the continual melting and freezing of the glaciers up-close. Amateur photographer and high school Maths teacher, Kent Mearig, 31, from Alaska visits the Mendenhall Glacier each year to record the sight of his favourite place.
