This landscape beauty was captured by Polish adventure-photographer David Kaszlikowski as part of his expedition to the Karakoram region to shoot for a documentary.
In additions to employing some of the best imaging tools commercially available, a Canon 5D Mark III in Kaszlikowski's case, he also deployed a drone to fully capture the beauty and magnanimy of the Baltoro, one of the largest glaciers in the world.
He manages to capture the glacier and the mountain in a manner never seen before.
