These breathtaking photographs of Patagonia, southern tip of the world, were made by Michael Anderson. Michael is an award winning travel and landscape photographer based in Golden, Colorado.

”When I begin a trip, I have only a vague idea of the experiences and places I will see along the way. I make my route up as I go, allowing me to drift with the flow of the environment and the weather, always open to unexpected invitations for adventure. True to Rolf Pott’s words, I try and gather my time off into one big trip a year so I can immerse myself in the swirl of beautiful, strange, colorful and occasionally chaotic environment of international travel. I camp or stay with locals and take local transportation whenever I can. I never know what will happen or how the trip will end. My ultimate goals with photography are much the same. I have a vague idea of where I want to go, but I am letting the journey take me there. It’s going to be an adventure, and I can’t wait to see what’s around the next corner.”

Fire and Ice

Beyond the Fall

Perito Moreno Glacier, Patagonia, Argentina

Beyond the edge of colorful autumn lies a land of ice and snow. I came back here to catch this scene at sunrise but the prominent ice tower had fallen down during the night.

Shattered

Patagonia
The thin ice on the edge of a lake was broken and then piled up on the shore by a powerful wind leaving this mosaic of patterns in the stacked ice. It’s a glacial lake which gives it a nice spectrum of green and blue.

Autumn Among the Glaciers
