Sue Flood: Cold Places Photography
Main Gallery @ Kimball Art Center
Through April 7
From the Kimball Art Center website:
“ In striking and poignant images, Sue Flood takes us to Earth’s coldest places. Flood has made numerous journeys to Antarctica and the Arctic, yet her sense of awe in these remote lands never fades. From the boundless charm of penguins to the grandeur of vast ice shelves, she captures moments of intense drama and epic beauty.”

Paul Crow: On Ice
Café Gallery @ Kimball Art Center
Through April 7
From the Kimball Art Center website:
“The month I was born, the first Nimbus satellite was launched, taking images of polar ice as it began its work. From that September in 1964 to September 2012, the ice coverage in the Arctic has fallen by half. And the ice is thinner.

Ice sheets are expanses of glacier ice covering surfaces of land and free water greater than 50,000 square kilometers. The only ice sheets now on earth are in Greenland and Antarctica. Antarctica loses a hundred cubic kilometers of ice each year. New icebergs are born of melting glaciers, breaking free into the open ocean. Sea levels rise.

Ice is a time capsule, storing bits of creatures, traces of gasses and waters from prior earths. Some of it dead, some of it not quite. In the year that I was born, scientists began tracking the long-term ice record of the Arctic lake Kilpisjärvi at the northwestern tip of Finland, not far from the point where the borders of Sweden, Norway, and Finland meet. Typically frozen for eight months of the year, Lake Kilpisjärvi has frozen an average of 2.3 days later each decade since 1964, and in each of those decades, the lake has seen a decrease of an average of 3.4 days of total ice cover.”  –Paul Crow
