Antarctica: an Antarctic exhibition to feel like a penguin

30 May 2020

Antarctica as if you were there! Luc Jacquet, Laurent Ballesta and Vincent Munier present the images they shot during more than two months in Antarctica. Whether under or on the ice, the immersion is complete and the enjoyment guaranteed. Presented in 2016 and 2017 in Lyon, Antarctica is one of the most successful exhibitions at the Musée des Confluences in Lyon: more than 800,000 visitors in just a few months. This exhibition on the Southern Continent can be seen at the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences in Brussels until January 3, 2021.

Antarctica: an expedition

Some people thought it was crazy. But they did. For the first time, a team of art and science craftsmen, filmmakers, photographers and scientists has captured the incredible terrestrial and underwater biodiversity of the Antarctic Continent. Under the ice or on the ice, each of them was dazzled by the beauty and the emotion of what Nature left to see. Under the ice, the team discovered, at previously unexplored depths, a little-known biodiversity. On the ice, it is the testimony of animal life in extreme environments.

Antarctica: the exhibition

Out of this expedition is born the Antarctica exhibition, an immersive journey to Adélie Land, within the South Pole to discover the beauty of the White Continent. The exhibition offers a real visual and sound immersion in this world usually reserved for international scientific missions. Nothing like walking around the ice floes alongside the emperor penguins dear to Luc Jacquet.
