Adélie: Terre & Mer [Land & Sea] (2-Volume Set)

About this book

Language: French

For the first time, photographers Vincent Munier and Laurent Ballesta have travelled together to discover the natural treasures of Adélie Land, in Antarctica.

Vincent Munier has explored the ice field and the bird colonies, while Laurent Ballesta has dived under the ice; one has observed the emperor penguins and snow petrels in the open air, while the other has dived with the Weddell seals and photographed the astonishing and unknown biodiversity of the Antarctic depths… Both have brought unique pictures from this exceptional trip, where the whiteness of the ice contrasts with the submarine blue.

Adélie: Terre & Mer is the result of artistic and technique challenges, as well as a very fine object: it gathers two volumes (one white, one blue) in a beautiful slipcase. Text in French only (very short - two poems by director Luc Jacquet).
