Issue 3

Cover Issue 3—Twelve hours deep, whiteout conditions, intensifying spindrift from overhead exposure, three rappels through the aether to the glacier below. Hanging at the anchor as Thor Retzlaff quested downward, I pulled a rime-coated point-and-shoot from my chest pocket and fired off two frames from the hip with frozen gloves. The most striking art, in my experience, is not something one sets out to create; it’s the byproduct of living the experience. Photo: Matthew Tufts
