This spot was magical in a way that I could barely distinguish between the sky and the snow pack, white as heaven.

I processed this image with #ART https://bitbucket.org/agriggio/art/wiki/Home and removed the dust from my lens with #GIMP.

Norwegian Arctic ice is contaminated with alarming levels of toxic PFAS, and the chemicals may represent a major environmental stressor to the region’s wildlife.

The Oxford University-led study’s measurements of ice around Svalbard detected 26 types of PFAS compounds, and found when ice melts, the chemicals can move from glaciers into downstream ecosystems.
