The Snow Queen is known to live in the North, in the Scandinavian countries, where the land is covered with fluffy white carpets. Thanks to Andersen's fairy tale, everyone knows it. But not everyone realizes that she has an older sister - the Ice Queen, who lives in the far south, and her palaces, icebergs of Antarctica, surpass any human structure in splendor. A photographer took a trip to these wonderful palaces Camilla Simen (Camille Seaman), and she brought wonderful photo of icebergs, which we will tell you about.
But first, a few words about Camille Simen. She was born in 1969 to a Shinnecock Indian and African American. By 1992, when Camilla graduated from university, she had already managed to learn photography from the famous American master. Jan Grover … Having worked with photography back in film times, the artist has triumphantly entered the digital age: her work can be found on the pages of National Geographic magazine, Italian Geo, The Times, Newsweek and many others. And since 2008, Camilla Simen's personal exhibition has been on display at the National Academy of Sciences in Washington. It's called "The Last Iceberg" - "The Last Iceberg".
All these photos of icebergs were obtained by her during a trip to Antarctica. The Antarctic Ice Mountains are the largest in the world. The iceberg that recently broke away from the Ross glacier with the poetic name B-15 has an area of 10,000 square kilometers! As you can see, the Ice Queen cannot complain about the small footage of residential premises.
On photo of icebergsmade by Camilla Simen, we see table-shaped icebergs, block-shaped (similar to the grandiose Universal Brick), pyramidal (reminiscent of a mountain). All the variety of shapes and sizes of "palaces" play with bright colors under the mysterious polar sky. And when it becomes harsh (as in the photo of the cold world of Akos Major), the picture becomes downright mystical.
Camilla's journey to the South, to the ice floes, left not only photo of icebergs, as well as a wonderful series of photographs dedicated to penguins and the stunning Antarctic sky - but we'll talk about this next time.

Freddie Mamani burst into the world of architecture like a typhoon.
