Snow Cracks
Edition: 1/1
Location: Chamonix, France
Captured in February 2019
Single Exposure
Attached file: 6000 x 4000 pixels

Glaciers are majestic, beautiful, impressive, and fragile. I’ve been passionate about their complex patterns and vibrant blues for as long as I remember, and spent a lot of time exploring and photographing them.

In France, where this image was captured, glaciers are not as big as in Iceland or Greenland. Because of that reason, we can see the retreat happening with naked eyes over the years. It’s heartbreaking and worrying to think that our children won’t be able to see them a few years from now.

This image was captured from the “Aiguille du Midi”, one of the higher summits of the Chamonix area, which is accessible by cablecar. From there, you can start the most incredible high mountain adventures, and experience the infinite snowfields of the “White Valley”.

This image was photographed with a 300mm tele-lens. I wanted to show how chaotic and complex the ice reliefs were. Since it was captured in winter, the crevices are covered by a layer of snow, making the patterns look softer. I voluntarily photographed the scene while it was in shadow to have these blue tones in the image, which I then enhanced in post-production.

The sense of scale is easily lost in such images, but It’s important to understand that the scene pictured here is extremely big, covering hundreds of meters.

It’s also important to understand the documentary importance of glacier images captured in our period. Glaciers are melting at an extremely fast pace, and the images captured today won’t ever be possible to reproduce in the near future.

Armand Sarlangue is a full-time photographer for 15 years.

Son of a photographer, visual arts have always been a passion for him since childhood, and it’s through nature photography that he expresses his creativity.

Being alone in the most remote places, and translating the feelings of that moment through his images is what motivates him.

He’s convinced that reconnection with nature is essential for humankind, and tries to share this message through his work.

His nature images have been internationally awarded, exhibited in museums & major photography festivals, as well as published in 5 books, and media such as Natgeo, BBC News, and many others.

This NFT is part of the Frozen Planet collection by Concurrence Collective - a project born out of community. An international team of photographers coming together with a shared passion for capturing the natural beauty of the world. Through this collection, our journeys & expeditions will transport you to the coldest regions of this majestic home of ours, whether they are permanently frozen, or have undergone the transition into winter.

Concurrence Collective is a project born out of community. We have come together with a shared passion for capturing the natural beauty of the world. Through the Frozen Planet collection, our journeys & expeditions will transport you to the coldest regions of this majestic home of ours, whether they are permanently frozen, or have undergone the transition into winter.

As a cyber gallery in the metaverse, Concurrence is the centre point for the initial display of Frozen Planet, and by showing this cohesive and powerful body of work in its entirety, our aim is to inspire collectors to take custody of our art. The collection will be available via GACHA to randomise the mint.

Frozen Planet contains work from the following photographers: Armand Sarlangue
Dani Guindo
Dennis Schmelz
Elliot Simpson
Jabi Sanz
Jenna Dixon
Joffrey Briaud
Johnathan Conlon
Jonas Furstone
Justin Wirtalla
Kai Yhun
Kurt Jurgen
Meesh
Norris Niman
Rach Stewart
Rachel Wood
Ricardo Braz
Roman Königshofer
Ron Timehin
Sam Oetiker
Sara Boychuk
Sarah Lyndsay
Suelen Tieko
Vincent Schnabl

As an international collective, we are excited to be able to bring together images from Greenland, Finland, Russia, Scotland, Antarctica, Switzerland, France, Iceland, Germany, Canada, New Zealand, and Patagonia.

Landscape photographers go to great lengths to reach these magnificent locations in extreme, and sometimes treacherous conditions to capture their grandeur & beauty, and highlighting these efforts was also part of the concept behind the collective.

Finally, in the next few generations, it is expected that some of these regions will cease to exist as they do today, with the cycles of glacial expansion and contraction seemingly disrupted, and greater levels of retreat occurring in a number of areas. If these fragile regions do become unrecognisable from their current state, these images will form an important documentation of their history.
