Discover the 7th Continent
the icy fairyland of Antarctica
One day exhibition, School of Geography and Environment, University of Oxford
Wednesday 4 May 2011
Gigantic icebergs, magnificent scenery, breathtaking beauty - this is Antarctica. Situated at the end of the world, the largest, driest, windiest, coldest and most remote continent on Earth presents a spectacle of amazing channels, superlative mountains and awe inspiring bays. But yet, it has more to offer than just snowy landscape; in the austral summer it also hosts a multitude of wildlife, from feeding humpback whales, to millions of penguins or hungry leopard seals. Trying to catch these wonders on camera is not easy. However, while working on board of the traditional square-rigger BARK EUROPA in winter 2009/2010, Christina Ender tried to do exactly that. Resulting from this is a collection of photographs, which will be exhibited in the SoGE in Week 1 of Trinity Term. If you would like to get a glimpse of this world, want to be inspired by the land that Captain Scott and Shackleton once discovered or simply escape your work for a bit, you can do so!
The exhibition will be in the A J Herbertson Room, School of Geography and the Environment, South Parks Road, Oxford, from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. on Wednesday 4 May 2011. We hope to see many of you visiting!
Christina is currently studying on the School's MSc Biodiversity, Conservation and Management. If you have any questions please contact her on christina.ender@bnc.ox.ac.uk.
