Glaciers on a Human Scale

The Commons Galleries – featuring Brenda Anderson’s curation

I like the scale of these shots…

 Glacier de la Maladetta
Bibliothèque de Toulouse
big rivers of ice, with little people.

 Grotto in Suphellebrae, Sognefjord, Norway
Library of Congress
I also love the fact that most of the people seem to be dressed in their “Sunday best”,

 Crossing a glacier, Kosciusko
Powerhouse Museum
almost like a stroll on a glacier is just like a stroll downtown…

 Francis Joseph Glacier, 1906
National Library of New Zealand
only it’s colder and one must carry a stick.

 Eliot Glacier, deep crevasses of snow and ice on Mount Hood
Oregon State University Archives
