A beach of fine sand beneath a ceiling of blue ice, an unexpected scene, deep within the glacier. The sand was carried by meltwater and deposited by the glacier itself, which grinds rock and debris into tiny grains. Flowing water has left behind patterns, much like those we see along the seashore.
A year ago, this spot was still a closed cave, but the landscape is constantly changing. At times, large volumes of meltwater surge through here, carving out the ice and expanding the space. What was once a cave has now become a tunnel, shaped by flow, time, and temperature.
"Glacier Beach" shows that the glacier not only freezes, but also shapes, scours, and re creates, even forming a beach of sand beneath the ice.
