The Only One

The photograph you see here was captured by artist Jean de Pomereu and is, to the artist’s knowledge, the only female nude ever taken in Antarctica.

For me, Antarctica is an object of continued visual and intellectual fascination : A wilderness that, however much it is scrutinized and deconstructed, remains unmoved in its glacial quietude, its penetrating silence, and its ability to draw us, one degree at a time, toward the essential. – Jean de Pomereu
