## Caption

Photo by acacia.johnson / A winter sunset glints in nearly iridescent hues on the fractured shore ice of Alaska's Turnagain Arm. This silty waterway near the city of Anchorage experiences 40-foot tides—the largest tidal range in the United States. The quicksand-like mudflats and rapidly changing tides make it a dangerous place to set foot—but in winter, it becomes an otherworldly backdrop to city life, its ever-changing ice formations serving as a constant reminder of nature’s powerful forces.
