Photographs from Antarctica

John Higdon spent 10 years in Antarctica as a merchant marine. He was inspired while navigating an icebreaker for the National Science Foundation. Going sometimes months without seeing another ship or person created a personal love and connection to the nature and life of Antarctica. His photos show the raw beauty, sheer remoteness and hostility of this magnificent area. His works were obtained while sometimes enduring extreme conditions and dangerous measures. Through his photos, he delivers to the viewer what couldn’t be felt or experienced without venturing across the continent.
