The Best Glacier Spots Near me

A freezing cold night camping on the ice beach next to Jökulsárlón was completely worth it to wake up to this view. Every where we turned in Iceland made us feel like we were visiting another planet!

This picture is taken from the top of the Burj Al Arab in Dubai. While is has astonishing views over the city I particularly liked the patterns of the coastline.

After a short but intense day came a long night. Waiting, sleeping for a short time in a freezing car. But it was definitely worth it.

Taken in Milford Sound, New Zealand. This was taken late in the afternoon on a rain-free day.

On an off chance we found ourselves needing to drive from Inuvik to Tuktoyuktuk, Northwest Territories, Canada, which was only accessible by ice road at the time. It took us about three hours driving on the ice to reach Tuktoyuktuk, which sits on the shore of the Arctic Ocean. This is what you see when you step out and look down. Taken during the last weeks of the ice road before it permanently closed. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/north/arctic-highway-challenges-1.4398726

This was taken on a peak that overlooks Dutch Harbor (Alaska). Two of my friends and I, were on an adventure to shoot a documentary on Atka Island for My Rode Reel 2017. Dutch Harbor was a stopping ground before we reached our destination in Atka. We climbed this mountain and were taken away by the incredible view.

No matter how many glaciers you see, they never seem to disappoint. While trekking across Root Glacier in Wrangell-St. Elias National Park, the waves of this glacier took my breath away. The expanse of ice is jaw dropping and really drives home our size on this giant planet.

We were on our way to bushy beach in New Zealand to see some penguins. We didn’t see any penguins, but we saw some sea lions. This is south Island on the coast of NZ

A crystal clear iceberg washed up on the black volcanic sands of the beach at Jökulsárlón, Iceland (Glacier Lagoon). This image was shot at sunrise.

Heavy waves call to me. Just the raw power, awe and beauty inspire me. I happened to line this one up as some huge sets a back doors were coming through.

Sitting here with this view listening to nothing but this guy paddling on the lake with this mindblowing color felt like being in a dream world for a near moment.

This is actually a night shot but due to the long exposure, the image rendered looks like day time exposure.

Looking out over the Kluane Wilderness. If you're interested in using this image on your website and plan on including an attribution, would you please link to my website, www.jackchurch.photo in the description? Thank you!

The annual Lake Louise ice sculpting competition ended awhile ago, but the good work remains. This particular guy, had a top piece that seemed to make you focus out onto Lake Louise itself. I couldn’t resist. I was also taken by the amount of detail one can actually carve into ice.

Flying along with Mount Cook Ski Planes & Helicopters on a trip to New Zealand. Took this photo out the window of their Pilatus Porter PC-6 Airplane.

One of the first pics I took at Iceland. Lighting was perfect, the sky was a light overcast

winter visit to one of the crowdiest waterfalls on the south of Iceland. There was a moment ....light moment of not so many people…can you see the couple standing almost behind the waterfall?

This picture I’ve made as thanks to my dear friend who sewed me the cover for my travel pillow from my old t-shirt.

Northern Lights outside of Reykjavik, Iceland. Please consider crediting my photos to the link found in my bio! :-)

Perito Moreno glacier in darkness, due to a lower exposure just when the light was hitting the nearer face of the glacier. Initially this was somewhat unintentional but after some post-processing I really like the way it draws attention to the ice, and the dark tones of the water.

The view of glaciar exploradores in Parque Nacional Laguna San Rafael, south of chile, near to puerto rio tranquilo.

My best friend and I hiked the mountain of Chacaltaya! One of the most awesome things I have ever done! 5435 meters obve the ocean!

Growing up in Australia I had never seen big floating icebergs like this before. It was an incredible sight, we spent the whole afternoon running around trying to get the best shots from the shore and above with the drone.

Our last stop for the day was the really beautiful diamond beach, an image that does not need any filters or color corrections stuns you because it kind of looks like valuable stones but is just ice.

Flying over Denali National Park gives an opportunity to see the majesty of nature. These glacial cracks show the deep turquoise water that runs horizontal in the valleys between the massive mountains. In all the whiteness of snow and ice, the color grabbed me to photograph them.

Incredible as it may seem, the front of the Perito Moreno Glacier is 4 km and up to 70 meters high. This glacier is broken approximately every four years by creating a dam that separates Lake Argentino in two.
