The Antarctica is a beautiful but harsh landscape, where sub zero temperatures, whipping winds and frozen tundra prevails. The bird and inhabitants have had to adapt to its unforgiving conditions. This series shows each subject isolated in their environment, surviving in one of the toughest climates on earth. All images were captured in February 2016.
