This remarkable visual journey culminates with an exploration of the work and ideas of eleven of our most acclaimed contemporary artists.
The image-makers reflect different backgrounds and influences—artistic, scientific, historical and political. Professionals and eager amateurs are each moved to express a visual response to the landscape. Intriguing and provocative psychological concerns, visually stimulating structures of settlement, the environmental impacts and purity of the icy vastness—all form a significant part of the rapidly growing genre of Antarctic visual art.
