Conceptual documentary photographer Richard Mosse used a large-format plate-film camera to photograph the ice cave under the Vatnajökull glacier in Iceland. Glacier caves usually form when air enters where water flows underneath the Ice. The warm air slowly causes melting, forming a cave from beneath. This dynamic process is becoming more unpredictable as global heating will soon render this natural wonder inaccessible.
