This unique landscape photo shows the impressive Marmolada glacier in Italy's Dolomites, captured on a rare clear day in September. After days of bad weather and closed mountain passes, the sky suddenly cleared. The sun broke through and revealed the rugged, mighty mountain landscape with its eternal snow, rock formations and the bright blue mountain lake in the foreground.
The Marmolada, also called "Queen of the Dolomites", is the highest mountain massif in this Italian Alpine region. Due to global warming, the glacier retreats further every year. This image captures its strength and fragility in one magical moment.
The photo was taken during a mountain hike in early autumn. Light, timing and location came together to create this dramatic panorama. You can see the weathered rocks, meltwater finding its way, and a landscape that is both grand and fleeting.
Perfect for lovers of nature, alpine landscapes, mountaineering, travelling through Italy or just for those who love soothing mountain views in their home or office.
