Reason
High quality, high EV (two-image set for perspective).
Original
Arena Glacier, first mapped in 1948 and 1955, flows into Hope Bay on the Trinity Peninsula of Antarctica. The first image, shot from a ship at a distance, shows the glacier flowing into Hope Bay. The second image, shot from a moving zodiac approaching the glacial outlet, provides size perspective.

  • The connection between the two images is not obvious, even when the landscape is displayed at say 1200px wide (a typical laptop size). Perhaps the article is the best place to show size perspective. BTW the landscape image is awesome. Bammesk (talk) 03:42, 6 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • The close-up/detail image is linked in commons to the landscape. A box is drawn around the area of the closeup with a link. Thank you for the kind words about the landscape image...--Godot13 (talk) 04:39, 6 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • After thinking about this for a long time... I changed my vote to: support both. The images are from a remote location whose landscape is changing. The close-up adds sufficient EV to the nomination. Bammesk (talk) 23:52, 12 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
