Stepping inside an ice cave can be an otherworldly experience, and this week we’re featuring a group of photographers who are bringing the experience to you through their Instagram accounts. The light inside of caves and caverns like these pushes the camera's dynamic range to its limits and shooting with wide- and ultra-wide angle lenses creates dynamic compositions. In these challenging environments, stunning images can be made. Check out their mesmerizing ice cave shots and give their accounts a follow. If you want the chance for your account to be featured on AlphaUniverse.com, make sure you tag your Sony photography posts with #BeAlpha.

George is a landscape photographer based in Duluth, Minnesota. On his account you’ll find insanely beautiful landscapes and astroscapes from every season. He captured these crazy ice formations on Lake Superior using his Sony α7 II and Sony 16-35mm f/4 and says, “An amazing sunrise this morning lit up this ice cave in bright orange and pink colors. This was one of the most beautiful sights I’ve seen, and was well worth the chilly swim in Lake Superior. This was the perfect way to end a long night of shooting the Milky Way in Grand Portage. For perspective, these icicles are about 4 feet tall.”
