Way Down South: Realms of Ice & Penguins celebrates the stark grandeur of the southern polar world and the deep interconnectedness between its landscapes and the penguin populations that inhabit the Antarctic Peninsula and the coastal plains of South Georgia.
Richard I’Anson’s photographs move beyond surface beauty, capturing the continual shaping of icebergs by wind and water, the shifting textures of ice, and the ever-changing interplay of light and cloud across frozen horizons. His images also reveal the isolation, resilience, and rawness of wildlife life in one of the planet’s most demanding environments.
Captured over multiple voyages spanning two decades, Way Down South brings together landscape and wildlife photography in a powerful visual journey through some of the southern polar regions’ most remote, fragile, dynamic, and ecologically significant places.
