A selection of photographs taken during field outings show the relationship between biologists and animal remains. These images document the collection of samples for studies on environmental pollution and species populations in the Antarctic region. Far from a pristine and desolate Antarctica, the landscape highlights the ephemerality of the natural world. The human presence and the stories contained in these remnants emphasize the role of science in the attempt to understand nature, while confronting the viewer with the harshness of decomposition and the inescapable truths of life and death.
