The cliffs that line Endicott Arm are relics of the great ice age that once embraced all of Alaska. As we neared the end of the fiord that culminated with the enormous Dawes Glacier, we noticed that the colors embedded in those cliffs became ever more vibrant. This particular cave has an entrance lined with splashes of crimson. While I am not sure if those colors are due to mineral deposits, lichen growths, or both, the effect was stunning. I used my spot-metering mode to stress the interplay between light and shadow, darkening the image to create a painterly effect.
