The Kanchenjunga massif catches the first light of the day, seen from Pelling in West Sikkim — its summits burning orange while the valleys below are still held in shadow. At 28,169 feet (8,586 m), Kanchenjunga is the third-highest mountain on earth and the highest in India, sacred to the people of Sikkim, who by long tradition leave its true summit untrodden.
Alpenglow lasts minutes, and only when the eastern horizon stays clear while cloud still hangs in the middle distance. Here it separates the image into three registers — the dark forested ridges, the band of cloud, and above it the lit snow.
ChromaLuxe Metal — Dye-sublimation renders alpenglow particularly well; the orange on snow comes off the aluminium close to how it looked at first light. White Glossy is the high-gloss white base that amplifies colour, and the most popular choice for vibrancy; White Semi-Glossy gives a soft shine with rich colour; White Matte holds colour vivid with minimal glare.
