The Lewis Glacier, Mt. Kenya, 1963 (A) Possibly 2014 - 2015

"The Lewis Glacier, Mt. Kenya, 1963 (A)" is a large-format photograph by Simon Norfolk depicting a scene of melting ice and snow in the mountains of Kenya. Taken in 2014 or 2015, the image depicts a stark landscape with a small hut nestled amongst the rocks, seemingly dwarfed by the vast scale of the glacier above. A fiery orange trail of light snakes across the foreground, symbolizing the rapid melting of the ice due to climate change. Norfolk's work often focuses on the impacts of human activity on the environment, making this photograph a powerful and evocative reminder of the fragility of our planet.
