Welcome to Antarctica


Sebastien Copeland is an international award winning photographer and film maker.
In 2005, Copeland co-led a delegation to the Arctic town of iqaluit to raise awareness on the inuit's struggle at the hands of climate change and to put a human face to Global Warming.
Copeland return to the ice in 2007 to complete a collection of photographs assembled into his book : Antarctica - The Global Warning. With an foreword by President Gorbachev, and an introduction by Leonardo DiCaprio, the book will be released internationally in the fall of 2007.


" Scale and light. That is how I will remember Antarctica.As I review week's worth of intense shooting, I am awad by the raw power of nature in this surreal environment, where mankind, yet again, is dwarfed by such gigantic proportions. Towering volcanic peaks plunge precipitously into the sea ; glaciers nonchalantly and inexorably pour into the ocean, where chunks of ice the size of city blocks, carry their last hurray as they float away to their inescapable fate. Trapped in frozen air bubbles are hundred of thousands of years' worth of environmental data." Sebastian Copeland.
