CANTON —
Who doesn’t love penguins? On Sunday, October 3, from 1 to 5 p.m., the Mass Audubon Visual Arts Center in Canton opens an exhibition of photographs by Chris Linder featuring the Adélie penguins of the Antarctic. Light refreshments will be served.Titled "Life on the Edge: Adélie Penguins," the exhibition shows dramatic Antarctic landscapes shaped by volcanoes and ice, and life in the fragile penguin colonies facing uncertain future due to climate change. Visitors will see photographs of penguins building nests, feeding their chicks, and battling the increasing storms.
Chris Linder is a professional science and nature photographer and multimedia producer. His photography career began while working as a research technician at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, where he was frequently called on to document oceanographic expeditions at the ends of the earth.
Since 2002, Chris has focused on communicating the stories of scientists working in the Arctic and Antarctic. His education and training as an oceanographer give him a special insight into photographing science. He has photographed 20 major scientific field projects, 14 of which have been in the polar regions.
The exhibition will be on view through January 9, 2011.
