Bernasconi's breathtaking panoramas reveal the spectacular
beauty of the Antarctic landscape shaped by its extreme
climate, while his wildlife portraits depict the
surprising diversity of species, highly adapted to the
challenging conditions in which they live. A foreword by
the British glaciologist Professor Julian Dowdeswell,
Director of the Scott Polar Research Institute, explains
the dynamics of the geography and ice masses, and the
effects of climate change, while Dr Peter Clarkson draws
on his personal experiences as a member of the British
Antarctic Survey in his introduction, which also recounts
the challenges of working and living in one of the
harshest environments on Earth. Blue Ice provides a
remarkable visual record of an eco-system at risk,
revealing the extraordinary, unexpected beauty of the
Antarctic, the most remote and endangered place on Earth.
