Austfonna Glacier waterfall on Svalbard

Images by photographer Hans Strand

On Svalbard, a waterfall pours off Austfonna Glacier. Below, in 2004, the sea sculpted ice off the remote Norwegian archipelago. Svalbard lies between 74 to 81 degrees North. Once common here, says Strand , sea ice is no longer found. By 2012, the photographer had to travel as far north as the 82nd parallel to find summer sea ice.
