The Artist Behind the Photo: J.J. L'Heureux
JJ L'Heureux has traveled extensively in Africa, South America, the Galapagos Islands, North America, Tierra del Fuego, across the Southern Ocean and into the Antarctic wilderness. This work is from a series of photographs of the Weddell Sea and the Continental ice of Antarctica from Atka Bay to Halley Station. They were shot over the course of five different expeditions to Antarctica spanning five years, where L'Heureux was a passenger on Russian icebreakers. The lengthiest of these expeditions penetrated previously unvisited parts of the Weddell Sea. J.J. will be signing her book, Faces from the Southern Ocean. A donation is appreciated and will directly support environmental charities.
