Long View Study No. 6-7
October 16, 2009
This diptych celebrates Sir Tannatt William Edgeworth David, renowned geologist and direc-tor of scientific staff on Shackleton’s 1907-09 Nimrod Expedition. He led the first parties ever to reach the South Magnetic Pole and the summit of Mt. Erebus, the world’s southernmost active volcano.
Read more about David’s exploits on my Long View project blog hosted by the California Academy of Sciences, and see the original artwork in the CUTTERS show at Cinders Gallery in Brooklyn from October 16 through November 15.
