Dani Guindo’s Dramatic Aerial Photos Reveal the Ghostly Outline of an Icelandic Glacier

Spanish artist Dani Guindo has released a striking new aerial photography series titled *Terminus*, which captures the Múlajökull glacier in Iceland. Using a drone, Guindo documented the glacier's intricate rivulets and, more significantly, a ghostly semi-circular outline etched into the rocky landscape below, revealing the glacier's former, much larger footprint.

This visual evidence starkly illustrates the glacier's dramatic retreat over time, as the outline is formed by drumlins—hills shaped by ancient ice flow. Múlajökull is a "surge-type" glacier, known for cycles of advance and retreat, making Guindo's work not only an artistic achievement but also a potent, accessible record of climate change's impact on fragile Arctic landscapes.
