Photos from Antarctica

“Beyond South”
This is the vision of an amateur photographer and journalist about the southernmost and most mysterious continent on the planet.
The photographs are the result of various trips to the Marambio, Esperanza, and Carlini Station. Three places where nature and science coexist with the people who inhabit these Argentine stations each year. The goal is for the viewer to take that journey and experience their own trip to discover this wonderful and enigmatic place.
“Beyond South” offers a different perspective of a continent that, in the collective imagination, is white, barren, and sparsely populated, but in reality, is a dazzling place, full of colors and stories.
Antarctica
Antarctica is the coldest, driest, and highest continent on Earth. It was the last to be discovered by humans and is the only one without permanent residents.
It is pure nature, an open-air laboratory. The largest natural reserve on the planet. While it may seem like an enormous desert, it is actually nature in its purest form. Its geography, flora, and fauna shape one of the most pristine and unique ecosystems on the entire planet.
Antarctica is a continent of over 14 million square kilometers, covered by layers of ice tall enough to conceal a mountain range and containing subglacial lakes isolated for millions of years.
It is the only continent dedicated to peace and science. Through the Antarctic Treaty, and in the midst of the Cold War, 12 nations—now more than 40—agreed to use it solely for peaceful purposes. This international agreement, which has been in effect for over 50 years, is a landmark in International Law.
