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.

Three snapshots of the sequence ....

 

... and, by contrast, the photo of an iceberg all in roundness with a very graphic aspect:

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.

 

mist

After "movements", a rather agitated sequence based exclusively on digital drawings, here is a more contemplative sequence, essentially using real shots of various bodies of water (once again, but fresh water this time...): Lake Huron and Lake Massawippi in Canada, Hudson River in the USA.
