ABOVE 5,000 METERS, THE FREEZING POINT VANISHED. FOR DAYS, ICE KNEW NO COLD. FARWELL IS NOT A DOCUMENT—IT IS A FAREWELL. A SILENT COLLAPSE. A PRESENCE THINNING INTO ABSENCE. THESE IMAGES HOLD NO ANSWERS, ONLY TRACES. EACH FRAME A QUIET GOODBYE TO WHAT ONCE FELT ETERNAL. GORNER GLACIER, AUGUST 2023.
