Painting in Antarctica

From the vastness of ice to the raw power of swells taller than buildings, Antarctica is a landscape that is deadly as it is beautiful. In recognition of the centenary of Sir Ernest Shackleton's final expedition, last year, 22 young people travelled to South Georgia, a British territory in the Antarctic region, as part of Antarctic Heritage Trusts' Inspiring Expeditions. Artists Charlie Thomas and Rose Lasham were both part of the group and their work, inspired by the trip, is currently on display at the New Zealand Maritime Museum. They talk to Mihi about what it was like visiting the frozen continent.
