Haunting photos of polar ice

Photographer Camille Seaman shoots icebergs, showing the world the complex beauty of these massive, ancient chunks of ice. Dive in to her photo slideshow, "The Last Iceberg."

Humans are not separate from nature, and icebergs show how deeply everything is connected. Standing before a 200-foot-tall iceberg, one can sense its long history, built snowflake by snowflake over thousands of years. As icebergs melt, they release ancient air and nourish life with mineral-rich water, continuing their journey in the cycle of life. Each iceberg displays a unique personality, reminding us that nothing in nature is ever truly isolated.
