Explore the icy realms of the Arctic, Earth’s northernmost region.
In 2015 a team of explorers, photographers and scientists sailed
through the High Arctic of Svalbard, Greenland and Iceland to document
their unique environments. Together they created Elysium Arctic, a
series of artworks capturing the icons of the polar north – majestic
icebergs and glaciers, playful wildlife and stunning views of land and
sea. Elysium Arctic also records the devastating impact of climate
change in the earth's northernmost regions. The Elysium projects are
run by Michael Aw, internationally acclaimed wildlife photographer,
explorer and conservationist. Michael believes that art can inspire
people to take action against climate change and save some of the most
vulnerable places on earth. Braving sub-zero temperatures, sea ice and
some very curious polar bears, the Elysium team has produced a
breathtaking visual journey through the Arctic. Join them on their
journey as you wander along the Darling Harbour foreshore – then pop
into the museum to learn more about the Arctic region.
