Icebergs Generating Fog, Antarctic Sound

David Burdeny

This series begins to explore what are currently the most geopolitical and geographically sensitive shorelines on earth.

About this work

During 2007 and into the spring of 2008, I made several long journeys to the upper and lower extremes of our planet to photograph the shorelines, monolithic ice forms and landscapes of Greenland, Icelandic and Antarctica. Most of these places are arduous to reach, beyond the borders of domestic transportation routes, accessible only by small aircraft or boat. All are endangered to some extent – threatened by tourism, climate change, industry and the hunt for oil. This new series, Icebergs, begins to explore what are currently the most geopolitical and geographically sensitive shorelines on earth. [...] For me, the work is both a celebration of nature’s survival and an elegy.
