Read MoreIce Bridge Collapse 001
The next morning I headed up there and happened to meet Travis at the mouth of the Kadunce River close to where most of the ice arches were located. We started to photograph one of the largest arches just as the sun rose on the horizon. It didn’t take long for the sun’s warm rays to affect the arch. We heard a loud cracking sound and the ice arch collapsed right in front of us sending fairly large waves into the ice on which we were standing.
