Antarctica is the last and largest unspoiled wilderness area on Earth. It is a reminder of what the planet was like before the influence of man. The whole of mankind benefits from this isolated continent. Karmaditya Baldota, has captured through his lens the pristine beauty and unique marine life which includes whales breaching, seals sleeping and penguins playing. His photographs transport you to this frozen windswept continent and show you in vivid detail what we stand to lose due to climate change.

The Snow Must Go On
Icebergs are melting, and the temperatures are going down. Global warming is facing us in the eye. The show must go on, and for that the snow must go on. A silhouette-of-a-man like figure is symbolically rising in the right (see the shoulder blade and the neck coming out of the water). Is the man listening?

I Have Taken My Bath, Where is My Towel?
The Adélie Penguin seems to be asking this, while looking for it. It is a species of penguin common along the entire Antarctic coast, which is their only residence. They are named after Adélie Land, which is in turn named after Adéle Dumont D’Urville, the wife of French explorer Jules Dumont D’Urville, who discovered these penguins in 1840.

Me Too Want to Swim
Baby Gentoo has perched himself on a height and is now ready to dive and swim. The long-tailed gentoo penguin is a penguin species most closely related to the Adélie penguin and the chinstrap penguin. They call in a variety of ways, but the most frequently heard is a loud trumpeting which is emitted with its head thrown back; which Baby Gentoo is soon going to, before it dives!

Ice to the Cube
Ocean tides sculpts the icebergs as big as the mountain. Such towering, sculpted white and blue ice are an iconic symbol of Antarctica. The icebergs look blue in color because of the freshwater ice. The non-tabular icebergs come in different shapes like rounded tops, spires and sloping sides. Wind and water erode the icebergs into various amazing structural shapes.

Ocean tides have sculpted the two icebergs as big as the mountain. Such towering, sculpted white and blue icebergs are an iconic symbol of Antarctica. The icebergs look blue in color because of the freshwater ice. The non-tabular icebergs come in different shapes like rounded tops, spires and sloping sides. Wind and water erode the icebergs into various amazing structural shapes.

Can You See Me?
A Fur Seal swims near the iceberg in Antarctica. Fur seals were once hunted nearly into extinction, but have made a roaring comeback into the Antarctic. These pointy-eared polar swimmers are known to reach speeds of up to 20 km per hour on land, and can reach higher speeds while swimming.
