Cryolophosaurus dinosaur
Cryolophosaurus dinosaur. Artwork of Cryolophosaurus, a carnivorous dinosaur that lived in Antarctica during the early Jurassic period, 196 to 190 million years ago. It was about 6 metres in length. The region that is now Antarctica had a warmer climate during this period. The animals distinctive crest was probably used for display, for example during mating or competition for territory. The lights seen in the sky are the aurora australis, the southern equivalent of the aurora borealis (Northern lights). It is caused by charged particles from the Sun interacting with the upper atmosphere

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic Cryolophosaurus dinosaur, an imposing carnivorous creature that roamed Antarctica during the early Jurassic period. Measuring approximately 6 meters in length, this frozen region was once home to a variety of prehistoric life forms despite its current icy climate. The artwork beautifully captures the essence of this remarkable species, with its most striking feature being the distinctive crest atop its head. Believed to have served as a display mechanism for purposes such as mating or territorial competition, this unique characteristic sets Cryolophosaurus apart from other dinosaurs of its time. As night falls upon this frozen landscape, the aurora australis illuminates the sky with ethereal lights dancing across it. These mesmerizing celestial phenomena are caused by charged particles from the Sun interacting with Earth's upper atmosphere. The combination of these breathtaking natural wonders and the presence of such an ancient predator creates a truly awe-inspiring scene captured in this art piece. It serves as a reminder that even in extreme environments like Antarctica, life has thrived throughout history and continues to adapt against all odds.
