This photo freezes a moment on the cusp of transformation. Moments after, the iceberg crumbled. Cracks spiderwebbed its surface, ice fragments suspended, a haunting prelude to collapse. It freezes time, illustrating photography's essence: capturing fleeting moments. Yet, it underscores a poignant reality. Amidst a static human-made boat, the iceberg's natural demise unfolds, a stark reminder of our changing climate and the accelerating rate of iceberg calving due to global warming.
