Pancake Ice Fields on Floodplain Near Sapporo

by Chelsea Thornton

Flat glare from the noon sun illuminates a vast floodplain near Sapporo where early spring thaw has left the ground saturated. The surface of the shallow water is crowded with circular discs of pancake ice, their edges thick and raised like gray collars. Low-hanging clouds diffuse the clear mountain light, casting a soft, even illumination across the water without sharp shadows. In the distance, the landscape recedes into layers of muted green and brown vegetation, marking the boundary between the flooded plain and the rising terrain. The ice discs rest tightly against one another, creating a textured mosaic of wet gray and pale white. One disc in the foreground shows a rough, crystalline rim catching the diffuse light.
