Snowflakes appear literally out of thin air. They are born high above us within grey winter clouds, where the simple act of freezing turns formless water vapour into spectacular crystalline ice sculptures. Over millions of years snowflakes compact and glaciers are formed. Nature has a habit of creating incredible majestic beauty from out of thin air.
In June 2013, the crew aboard the ‘Killary Flyer’ and I set sail from Killary Harbour. Eighteen days and three wild storms later we arrived in Greenland ready to explore the world’s largest island in a number of different ways.
The Arctic has always had an allure, something that draws us in. Explorers have always felt the need to search and push themselves further and further. For some it is the taking the human body to hostile climates, for others it is one of the true wilderness areas left on our planet. For me ice is a mysterious beauty that continues to astound me. Surreal glaciers with invitations to explore the sublime yet dangerous blue caves, vast seascapes of countless ice sculptures journeying with the tide reducing to exquisite pieces of art that mostly go unseen.
