The Maligne Range from Jasper, Canada

'I am a glaciologist and in 2017 I was in Canada on research sabbatical, working on the glaciers of the Columbia Icefield in the Rocky Mountains. This image was shot in Jasper National Park on my first to the Rockies, just a few weeks into my sabbatical. The landscape here is dominated by mountains and forests, and in the early season, a lot of snow. It is undeniably beautiful and awe-inspiring.
The image was shot with a Nikon D810 and Nikon 28-300mm f3.5-5.6 lens at f8, 1/1250sec, ISO640. Standard post-processing (e.g. adjustment of tone, contrast, clarity, noise, sharpness, vibrance etc, including black and white conversion) was applied.'
