The Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County is hosting an exhibition of large-scale images of Antarctic landscapes by Diane Tuft, who was a 2012 participant in OPP’s Antarctic Artists and Writers program.

The exhibit, "Frozen in Time", which opened on May 23 and runs through Jan. 20, captures ‘the landscape in abstract ways,” according to the museum, “her 13 large-scale photographs illustrate a whole new perspective on Antarctica. From cracks in glaciers to atmospheric gases trapped within the frozen bubbles of icy lakes, these images illuminate our planet’s long history of climate change.”

Frozen in Time is running concurrently with another exhibit, "Antarctic Diinosaurs" that "tells the story of modern day paleontologists, [Natural History Museum]'s Dr. Nathan Smith and Dr. Pete Makovicky, Curator of Dinosaurs at Chicago's Field Museum, and their expedition to excavate fossils beneath the ice and stone": https://nhm.org/experience-nhm/exhibitions-natural-history-museum/antarctic-dinosaurs
