Givig the Arctic back its ice
"On November 18, 2023, I filled an ice cube machine with meltwater from the North Pole and returned the cubes to the Arctic Ocean (Båtsfjord, Northern Norway)."

The project was realized during the artists fellowship at the Research Institute for Sustainability (RIFS) Potsdam 2023/24, where she spent a year exploring the representation of the Arctic. The meltwater was provided to her by the journalist and author Birgit Lutz. Her journey was exclusively by public transportation, such as train, bus and ferry, with the exclusion of airplanes and cruise ships. The ice cube machine was powered by a solar battery (charged in advance with Westphalian sunlight)."

The Indian Arm Fjord/Inlet, viewed from either the 6th or 7th viewpoint from Diez Vistas ridge, exactly between two downpours. This deep fjord used to be covered by a glacier that crested all but the highest peaks (now 1700m+) of the Northern Coast Mountains. Remnants of one raincloud linger in the trees below. Altitude is ~ 400m above sealevel, the furthest mountains in the photo are ~ 20km away. While I took this, a grouse was making spooky deep sounds, and a Douglas Squirrel was doing the same but then high pitched. Postprocessed with Darktable, but still very new at it, so any mistakes are mine, not Darktable's. Challenging to take good captures in this low light, my eyes are fine with it, but cameras are finicky.
