Description
This shot is from Jostedalsbreen in Norway, the largest glacier in the country.The opening of the portal is 10 meters high, and the glacier is 800 meters high!
This was a gloomy day in March, the light just appeared bright for a few seconds, but fortunately I had my camera ready on the tripod for shooting.

thank you torturebunni..!
glaciers can really appear in these colors, when you are there at the right time with the right light...all you need is timing and a little patience...

And it's even more beautiful in the inside. Ice caves have many intricate and complex icicles and shapes in ice....
These are some reasons why I want to go to places like tundras or glaciers...

i couldn't agree more. the glaciers are impressive inside.
places i can recommend are; west-coast of norway, island and patagonia in argentina.

Briksdals-breen is an "arm" from Jostedalsbreen on the west-coast of Norway. It falls down 800 meters from the top. Unfortunately it has decreased quite a lot the last years, so this portal is only left on this image...Hopefully there are a few other images left!
