Moscow Domodedovo Launches its Online Exhibition “In the Icy Arms of the Southern Continent”
Moscow Domodedovo Airport has introduced its online exhibition “In the Icy Arms of the Southern Continent” mark 200 years since the discovery of Antarctica by Russian explorers Fabian Bellingshausen and Mikhail Lazarev.
The exhibit features 25 works, capturing ice cubes, icebergs, whales, penguins, cold-water fishes as well as other wonders. Every picture comes with a short depiction and a fun facts section. Look at John Weller’s photo “Blue Iceberg” to learn how to determine the age of icebergs. Stanislav Zakharov’s work “In Search of…” reflects the habits of Antarctic penguins.
Russia’s first Antarctic expedition reached the shores of the previously unknown Southern continent on January 28, 1820. Over 50 years before the discovery of Antarctica, Great Russian scientist Mikhail Vasilyevich Lomonosov, whose name bears Moscow Domodedovo Airport, predicted its existence. In his works, Lomonosov argued that there is a firm ground in the Southern hemisphere, covered by ice.
The exhibition is available at dme-aero.com until March 31.
