The ice and the water. Black deep water, brilliant white ice, snowy striated mountains all around. A lead gray sky, a thin layer of brightness at the horizon. Then reversed, a bright gray sky and a dark band. Ever-changing, subtle, monochrome.

I shoot roll after roll of b/w panoramic of the scenes, watching the composition of white and black, ice and water, and the horizontal banding of the sky change as we pass through the landscape. The air is dead calm, and the sun hazily reflects a twin globe beneath us. The air feels relatively balmy, maybe 40º F.
