During one of mine ritual walk up to my valley, with the aim of checking for ice status on the surface of two small alpine lakes, I step into a great nature event; the mating and egg deposition of the Alpine frog (Rana Temporaria) which copulate on the last winter snow patches.
ELYSIUM, ANTARCTIC 2010 ODYSSEY
Ushuaia – Weddell Sea (Antarctic Peninsula) – South Georgia – Ushuaia / Invited to the Expedition as a contributing photographer.
- from the 10th February until the 1st March 2010 -
In 2010, the heroic spirit of Sir Shackleton lives on through a new team of explorers: to follow his footsteps, not for the glory of being the first to cross the Antarctic or the first to climb the highest mountain but to produce a momentous documentation of one of the most beautiful places on Earth. The production will serve as a gift for future generations with an imaging epic that guarantees to inspire, invigorate and challenge for preservation of planet earth.
Elysium is a project that draws upon the world’s finest nature artists and scientists to document the vista, flora and fauna of the Antarctica Peninsula and South Georgia.
The area is regarded as one of the most enchanting wilderness regions of our planet, yet volatile and under severe threat from the warming of the world’s climate.
The production promises the most awesome and most stunning audio visual interpretation ever seen of Antarctica.
