Aftershot THE PHOTO “This image was taken in the winter of 2019 in Georgian Bay, along the eastern side of the Bruce Peninsula. The freediver pictured is Andrew Ryzebol, who is an AIDA freediving instructor and one of my best friends. We walked a kilometre offshore in search of icebergs. During very cold winters, icebergs can form in bays from the changing winds and currents that are prevalent in the Great Lakes. We can tell where icebergs are based on the surface textures, and this one was one of the biggest we have ever seen—around 15 feet in height. Enduring the elements is worth it to explore this surreal underwater world.”
