Kings of South Georgia and Icescapes of Antarctica

January 21, 2018 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.

Painting and wildlife video time lapse highlights from Antarctica , including early season visits to Mikkelsen Harbor, Cuverville Island and the south shetland islands. Encounters with jumping penguins, breaching humpbacks and a weddell seal animate the contemplative process of watercolour painting.
