A free diver exercises dynamic apnoea below an iced platform, in the chilly salt water of the White Sea, at minus 2 degrees Celsius. Must be extremely prepared, brave and self-controlled to free-dive, holding the breath, in ambient without a fast and clear access to the surface. Reaching the underwater world, is an adventure itself since a thick layer of ice bars the passages every night, due to very low temperatures, and every day one must cut ice holes (called mainas by locals) into the ice platform. Salted water needs very low temperature to freeze. Below the ice platform, the upper layer is a melt of fresh and salt water, allowing a surprising amount of life to thrive. Location: White Sea, northern Russia.

This infrastructure is nicknamed the "American Tower". It contains a whole array of sensors and other measuring equipment, which the winterers have to de-ice all winter long. Concordia Antarctic Research Station, Dome C plateau, East Antarctica.

A farewell from those who are leaving to those who are staying. The winterers have just spent 13 months at Concordia, and it's time for them to go home. Their departure from the station is a heartbreaker for everyone. Note: this photo was taken during the 2020-2021 summer campaign, the first summer campaign to be affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. The overwinterers who are about to return to mainland France have not yet really been confronted with the reality of this pandemic: they have only heard about it through their families and the media. Concordia Antarctic Research Station, Dome C plateau, East Antarctica.

A technician talks on the radio, crouched in front of a console of electronic equipment and a large radio dish/antenna. The technician is in radio contact with his partner inside the station, who is testing the VSAT antenna that provides the station's Internet access. The electronic equipment is housed in a custom-made, temperature-controlled wooden cabinet, to keep the electronics at a temperature above 0°C at all times, to prevent any damage. Concordia Antarctic Research Station, Dome C plateau, East Antarctica.

Two technicians finish digging a trench in the snow with shovels, in front of an outdoor electrical box. In summer, a team of around 25 technicians from various trades carry out various maintenance tasks at the resort. This includes the electrical distribution network, which is put to the test by the cold and temperature variations, and whose needs, particularly for scientific installations, are constantly increasing. Manual labor on Concordia is particularly demanding, obviously because of the cold, but also because of the lack of oxygen. Concordia Antarctic Research Station, Dome C plateau, East Antarctica.
