Antactica - Photographs by Santiago Vanegas
Atlanta photographer Santiago Vanegas sailed to Antarctica in January 2009 aboard the Quark ship Ocean Nova. On his return, he spent a year combing through the eleven thousand (11,000) images he brought back. He knew while shooting that from that mass of photography there would emerge a very special exhibit. His challenge - to find a venue that would allow him to hang 50 over-sized images - 35 inches by 45 inches. He found the perfect showcase, close to home at the busiest airport in the world - the Atlanta Hartsfield Jackson International Airport.
The Exhibit: Antarctica - Photographs by Santiago Vanegas
Beginning February 9, 2011, the exhibit will be on display for a year in the Transportation Mall, the corridor through which every Atlanta Airport passenger must stroll. In addition to enhancing the airport experience, the exhibit will rasie funds for environmental protection. All 50 photographs are for sale, with the proceeds going to non-government organizations with the mandate to protect the Antarctic environment.
Quark Expeditions is the sponsor of the exhibit
We are proud to sponsor this exhibit for the next 12 months. Mr. Vanegas has captured the still, silent, brooding world where the sun never sets that we have sailed for the past 20 years. There is no more fitting way to celebrate our 20th anniversary. We thank Mr. Vanegas for allowing us to share a sample of the exhibits with our website visitors.
