I shot this picture at Grey Glacier, part of the Southern Patagonian Ice Field. Together with the Northern one, the ice cap is the world's 3rd largest mass of ice after Antarctica and Greenland. The ice appears blue to the naked eye because of the short wavelengths blue light is transmitted and scattered, when squeezed out air in compressed snow leaves little reflective surface on a glacier for the sunlight.
