Photo by Mattias A. Klum mattiasklumofficial | Melting natural sculptures of ice in Grey Lake at Torres del Paine National Park in Chile. While taking a series of images here, I went a bit too far, and my tripod lost its grip. To avoid jeopardizing the camera gear, I fell in instead—quite a brisk experience! My great friend and assistant at the time, Lars-Magnus, helped pull me out of the ice-cold water. The amazing blue color in the back is caused by the ice absorbing red light, or long wavelengths, and scattering back and transmitting blue light, or short wavelengths. Photographed on assignment.
