Alaskan Cloudbreak

Piece description from the artist

Glacier Bay National Park is new. I don't mean the establishment of the park, but the land and waters itself. A massive glacier covered this entire area as near as 1750. It suddenly retreated and by 1879 when John Muir visited, it had already shrunk 40 miles inland. Today, what's left of the glacier lies another 25 miles up the Bay. That means every natural feature you see when you visit this park is less than 300 years old: the bay, the forests, and the wildlife habitats included.

About Scott Wurzel

Arlington, VA

Currently located in Washington, DC, Scott is a native Floridian photographer specializing in landscape photography. His work explores the interplay of light and dark — rejecting the notion that photography is just “painting with light.” He seeks what resides in the contrast — the liminal spaces of the world.

Scott has shot in some of the most beautiful locations in the world, including Iceland and locations throughout the Old World. But some of his most inspiring locations are right at home in America's enchanting National Parks.
