Ice Cave

Svalbard, Norway, is an archipelago near the North Pole, with terrain full of glaciers and ice caves. Here, a scientist works his way out of a deep vertical cave also called a moulin. He and his team map the caves to understand how water flows through glaciers-- which leads to sea level rise. This photo was submitted to Your Shot, our photo community on Instagram.
