C R E V A S S E Within the eons-old strata compressed in glaciers lie the tales of ten thousand years. Silt and gravel from hundreds of miles distant lie within, along with remnants of tools, clothing and beings long lost. Layer upon layer are compressed into moving rivers, the ice within so dense that it absorbs every other color of the spectrum except blue. Photographs of deep crevasses and ice caves reveal every color of blue imaginable. To me these images are spectacularly compelling in both their beauty and their danger, intensifying their visceral excitement.
