About this photograph : Eclairage urbain

“Without a doubt one of the most beautiful memories of my mission in Antarctica, the polar night with its auroras which embrace the sky. Moments of intense emotion that call for silence and for contemplation, when the stellar immensity, fairylike dances present to me their spectacle…”

About the artist : Samuel Blanc

Samuel Blanc 29 years of age, was born in the Chartreuse mountain range in the heights of Grenoble in Isère. It is in this universe of the mid-range mountain, that his passion for nature in general and for the fauna in particular was born. Manager of pedagogical projects targeting public schools, adults or students, he lead conferences, headed naturalist visits, and participated in audiovisual shows. It is after this enriching experience, that he left for fifteen months in the Adélie Land in Antarctica, on behalf of the CNRS and of the French Polar Institute in the framework of a research program on biology and ecology. On site, he was in this way responsible for the study and monitoring of populations of birds and of marine mammals (penguins, seals, petrels…).
Coming back from this mission, he launched himself into the heading of voyages having for destinations polar regions (Antarctica, Spitsbergen, South Georgia...) as well as nature guide and conference-speaker. Author-photographer, he thus offers expositions and conferences in order to share his passion by way of his stories and images.
