Tokyo-based
nature and wildlife photographer Martin Bailey captures the otherworldly beauty
of Antarctica in this fascinating photo series. Though the frozen continent is
home to numerous seals and penguins, but the brave Martin Bailey chose to snap
the sweeping landscape without any signs of life, instead focusing on the harsh
and otherworldly beauty of 1,000-year-old icebergs and glaciers. With a
striking palette of pure white, icy blue, pale aqua, and deep cobalt, Bailey's
spectacular photographs draw parallels between manmade civilizations and the
isolated, natural allure of Antarctica. Therefore; towering, monolithic ice
formations evoke the imagery of architectural form such as grand palaces, impenetrable
fortresses, and even great pyramids. Splendid in snow and ice, the frozen
tundra's mesmerizing attractiveness looks like something from a dream or
another world.
