EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a glimpse into the past at the Port Lockroy research station in Antarctica. The image showcases a well-preserved collection of old food conserves, providing a fascinating insight into the survival techniques employed by early explorers in this harsh and unforgiving environment. The kitchen scene depicted is filled with vibrant colors, highlighting the resilience and resourcefulness required to sustain life in such extreme conditions. The shelves are lined with an assortment of tin cans and crockery, each item representing a vital source of nourishment for those who once called this place home. As we peer into this building interior, we can almost imagine the aroma of preserved foods lingering in the air. This photograph serves as a reminder of both human ingenuity and adaptability when faced with challenging circumstances. Antarctica's Polar Regions have long been sought after as travel destinations for their unique beauty and untouched wilderness. However, it is important to acknowledge that these regions also hold historical significance as sites of scientific exploration and discovery. Michael Runkel/Robert Harding skillfully captures not only the physicality but also the spirit behind these remnants from another era. Through his lens, he invites us to reflect on our own relationship with food, survival, and our planet's fragile ecosystems.
