This waterfall image in black and white may appear lovely, but it’s truly an unusual sight. This image was taken in Svalbard, Norway, and according to Paul Nicklen, it depicts the “collapse of [the] global climate” in a way that has a “ironic beauty.”

Meltwater is gushing from an opening in an Arctic glacier, creating the cascade. According to nature photographer Nicklen, the “single greatest threat” that humanity “ha[s] ever encountered” is global warming, and this artificial waterfall symbolizes society’s “failure to act” in response to it. This cold-weather photo could have been taken with the Sony RX0. For $700, you can purchase it at Sony.
