EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Michael S. Nolan transports us to the desolate beauty of Stromness Bay in South Georgia, a remote corner of the South Atlantic Ocean. Here, amidst the icy Polar Regions, lies the haunting remains of an abandoned Norwegian Whaling Station. The image captures a sense of architectural heritage frozen in time, as we witness the decay and disrepair that has befallen this once-thriving hub of industry. The collapsed buildings stand as silent witnesses to a bygone era when whaling was at its peak. Snow blankets the landscape, adding an ethereal quality to this historical site. It is impossible not to feel a sense of awe and reverence for the history contained within these ruins. Nolan's expert photography skillfully captures both the grandeur and melancholy inherent in this scene. The horizontal composition allows our eyes to wander across every detail, from crumbling walls to rusted machinery. As we gaze upon this evocative image, we are transported back in time, contemplating both human ingenuity and its impact on nature. This photograph serves as a reminder that even in places untouched by modern civilization, traces of our industrial past can still be found. For those with an appreciation for travel destinations off-the-beaten-path or an interest in polar exploration and history alike, Nolan's print offers a window into another world - one where whispers from "the past" echo through each dilapidated building and weathered structure at Stromness Bay.
