Zodiac Boat at the Base of Granite Cliffs, Dawes Glacier, Alaska [ALK-0011]

A tiny Zodiac boat floats at the base of towering granite cliffs near Dawes Glacier in Alaska’s Endicott Arm. The immense scale of the rock walls emphasizes the power of natural forces that shaped this fjord over millennia. Flecks of ice drift on the water’s surface, a reminder of the nearby glacier.
