Piece description from the artist
Mendenhall Glacier in Juneau, like most glaciers on Earth, retreats drastically each year. Most, however, are not this visible to tourists. Busses from docked cruise ships deliver tourists daily to a state run visitor center. You can see it from the building's porch and although you can get close to it from a short boardwalk, you can no longer reach its base. Instead, a short helicopter ride is necessary to actually touch the ice. The recession of the ice is so noticeable that one hears, "it used to be way bigger!" from tourists constantly, and that sentiment is even available on t-shirts and magnets in the visitor center gift shop.

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.
