Smoke and pink clouds in the Paris sky, storm clouds in the Argentine sky and nebulous shapes drawn, gradually giving way to clarity.

Various snapshots of the sequence :
fractures
In the final stage of seawater glaciation, the ice floes fracture as the icebreaker passes over them.

A snapshot from the sequence:
sea ice
Some stages in the glaciation of sea water in three movements, without too many drawn elements, but with different modes of fusion of real shots taken along the coast of Antarctica.

A few snapshots from the sequence:
sharp edges
Icebergs, glacier fronts or broken ice floes: the sharp edges of the ice intersect with sharp patterns.
Some of the actual shots were taken during a cruise along the coast of Antarctica from Adelie Land to the Peninsula; the swell and the ship's bumps against the drifting ice sometimes affected the stability of the camera.

forming sea ice
A somewhat unique sequence, created by simply editing together live footage, showing the stages of sea ice formation along the Antarctic continent in March 2023. Before reaching the final stage of a smooth, white ice sheet stretching as far as the eye can see, the ocean’s surface takes on very different appearances: from the faint whitish film that marks the beginning of saltwater freezing, to the formation of large ice floes, and the “pancakes” that eventually coalesce under the influence of the winds.
The footage is accompanied by the final movement of Gustav Mahler's Third Symphony.
