Abandoned Cracked Death Horizon Over Land Nunavut Ominous Whaling Station Animal Skull Balaena Mysticetus Bowhead Whale Horizons
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Michael Nolan/Robert Harding showcases the haunting beauty of an abandoned whaling station on Kekerten Island, Nunavut, Canada. In the foreground stands a majestic Bowhead whale skull (Balaena mysticetus), its massive size and intricate details capturing our attention. The cracked rock landscape surrounding it adds to the ominous atmosphere, hinting at the passage of time and the inevitable cycle of life and death. The color palette in this image is strikingly vibrant, with hues ranging from earthy browns to deep blues that contrast against the stark white of the skull. Against this backdrop, we are reminded of both nature's resilience and human impact on these magnificent creatures. The horizon stretches out into infinity, emphasizing the vastness of North America's physical geography. This non-urban scene allows us to immerse ourselves in a remote travel destination where wildlife once thrived but now lies abandoned. Nolan/Harding's photography skillfully captures a moment frozen in time - a poignant reminder of our responsibility to protect and preserve Earth's natural wonders. As we gaze upon this powerful image, we cannot help but reflect on humanity's complex relationship with nature and contemplate how we can better coexist with these awe-inspiring creatures.
