Zee Evans
The photograph above was taken by Zee Evans at Palmer Station, the only U.S. research station north of the Antarctic Circle. I can’t find much information about Evans, but after a lot of Googling it seems she is a photographer specialising in Antarctic photography. I’d love to know more about her, and about how she came to do what she does, as Antarctic photography strikes me as being an idyllic specialisation; but right now the internet isn’t throwing up anything useful.
I originally saw Evan’s photograph in an Antarctic-themed post on The Big Picture, a blog “compiled semi-regularly by Alan Taylor.” If you’re interested in photography, The Big Picture is an essential addition to your feed reader or bookmark folder or whatever thing you use to keep track of good things on the internet.
a friend of a friend — Peter Morse — has done some antarctic work too (the details of which escape me right now, but it sounded fascinating when i was hearing about it a while back).
