Captured by Ludwig Choris in 1822 during his voyage around the world, this stunning landscape showcases the raw beauty and grandeur of nature. The image reveals a panoramic view of the glaciers that adorn the Gulf of Kotzebue, located near the town bearing its name. As we gaze upon this frozen spectacle, we are reminded of Lieutenant Otto von Kotzebue's exploration in search for the elusive Northeast Passage. It was during his service to Russia that he discovered and named this awe-inspiring sound back in 1816.
