Kings of South Georgia and Icescapes of Antarctica
David McEown
The following video clips and paintings were inspired by a pilgrimage to the Sub Antarctic island of South Georgia and the Antarctic Peninsula in October through December 2017. It has been my long term project to record and raise awareness about the fragility of these natural wonders as well as try to express their inherent beauty. Many more paintings and video circumnavigating Antarctica can be viewed on my Antarctica page.
