The Crystalline Sublime

Monday, June 23, 2008 · comments 3 comments


BARROW, ALASKA– (By Ronald Aveling) Beneath the breathing tundra, all is not what it seems. On our second attempt, we managed to find our way out to the elusive Ice Cellar, and explored a mysterious subterranean world that exists beneath the surface. A site for studying ice and time, a cellar enshrouded in a crystalline sublime.

    Beautiful. Great words and images both. The Ice Cellar is a perfect setting for an Edgar Allan Poe story.
