Roie Galitz, wildlife photographer and Greenpeace Israel's ambassador took these breathtaking photos: Bråsvellbreen, a majestic and sprawling ice feature in the Svalbard archipelago, stands as one of the longest glacier fronts in the Arctic. Stretching impressively across the landscape for 45km, this glacier is part of the larger Austfonna ice cap, which paints a stunning picture of craggy ice melding into the cold waters below. Known for its dramatic calving events and stark beauty, Bråsvellbreen is a vivid reminder of nature's power and fragility. As climate change poses increasing threats, the glacier serves as both a breathtaking spectacle and a critical indicator of environmental shifts in one of the Earth's most sensitive regions
