Colorful Antarctica

In 2012, the photographer Gaston Lacombe travelled to the Antarctic Peninsula for a two-month residency at the Esperanza Base, an Argentine research station. His intent was to photograph the daily life of people living at the base, but, upon his arrival, he was struck by the Adélie penguins that animated the peninsula. “Penguinscapes,” Lacombe’s resulting series, offers a look at the region’s thriving penguin population and the saturated landscape that emerges during Antarctica’s summer thaw.

“Penguinscapes” is on view at Photoville’s exhibit “The Fence,” in Brooklyn Bridge Park, through October.

All photographs by Gaston Lacombe.
