About this image

Several rope teams move across the Rouies glacier, their tracks forming fine lines in the snow. The mountaineers remain tiny among the crevasses and glacial slopes, giving a concrete sense of scale to the extent of the landscape. Rock towers rise in the centre above the immense white slope. Farther away, a mountain range emerges above the clouds and opens up a second horizon. The rope teams provide small points of reference between these vast features, allowing the successive distances to be gauged from the nearby snow to the mountains emerging in the background.

The repetition of the figures and tracks brings movement to an otherwise very clean composition. Dominant whites are punctuated by greys and blues, while the lines of the ropes and footprints guide the eye across the relief of the glacier.

The glacier lies in the Écrins massif above the Valgaudemar. This high-altitude area connects plateaus, passes and summits in an environment where roped travel is essential for crossing crevassed zones.

This mountaineering photograph is offered as a photo print of rope teams on the Rouies glacier. Printed to order on matte aluminium Dibond, it preserves the delicacy of the figures and the structure of the snow-covered slopes.
