Antarctica : the adventure at the end of the earth

It took few years and a lot of determination for Hemisphotographers to collect these amazing pictures. Because the snow,in Provence, is as much unexpected as unusual. Rarely does thiscountry of heat, colors and scents clothe itself in white. Then onemay discover frozen landscapes, white olive threes, waves of whitefoam from frozen lavenders. One may be filled with wonder by thebeauty of the Palais des Papes whitened by flakes, the Ochres ofRoussillon coated white or the frozen Baux de Provence looking likea landscape from the Great North. Put your boots on and follow ourphotographers trail…
