Light tracing the floor highlights the movement of the glacier.


The site is located in a glacier at Denali National Park, Alaska.

Due to its remoteness, the site is accessed by plane. The perforations in glacial surface are the first indication of the cave below.

Plan showing the relationship of the perforations to the cave below.

The movement of the glacier causes the platforms to continually form new relationships.

The light wells are excavated at different angles and diameters to increase the variation of light through the day.
