From Snowflake to Iceberg
is a hymn to nature in its most powerful incarnations.
It is an inspired first-hand account and a poetic
tribute that transcends the imagination and offers
insight into the movements of glaciers, the chronicle
of the sea ice, the secrets of inlandsis and the
wanderings of icebergs.

It
is a celebration of the eternal thirst to explore,
to seek the unknown and to discover nature’s
strength and fragility.
Bernard Voyer took these unique
photographs under extreme conditions during his
expeditions. All of them were shot without any
filters or flash, and are an absolutely faithful
record of what he saw and experienced.
In these pages he shares with us
his lifelong passion for winter, snow and ice.
He has brought back images from his odyssey to
the most inaccessible places on Earth.
