These photographs are from my second trip to Antarctica after I got my first professional camera the Canon Mark D 5II. I felt the color fidelity of this camera was perfectly suited to the almost monochromatic look of the region. My focus was on creating images that conveyed the Zen like peace of one of the most violent climates on earth during the small window available to visit for the average traveller. Of special note is the extraordinarily lucky sighting in the Weddell Sea in Antarctica (normally not accessible) of the largest tabular iceberg the captain had ever seen. I found the walls of this iceberg to be like Chinese landscape art. Abstract art abounds in this living gallery of water and ice as contemporary as any artist's oeuvre.
