"Tranquility"
 

 

 


Newly formed Lake Tasman shimmers beneath shattered mountains in the Aoraki Mt Cook National Park. Twenty years ago, the Tasman Glacier terminated at this point. However, in the time since it has retreated up the valley, leaving a classic terminal lake. Some of the 'small' icebergs floating in the still waters are actually about the size of an office block. Photo details: Canon 350D, ISO 400, 1/800th second exposure with a Sigma 20mm lens @ f-6.3.
