Iceberg Cañon, Colorado River, Looking Above
1871
Upstream view through Iceberg Canyon reveals the Colorado River's path between towering rock walls, named for the dramatic geological formations that suggested frozen cascades to 19th-century explorers. O'Sullivan's composition captures both the geological grandeur and the navigation challenges of this remote canyon system.
