Greenpeace, the international environmental group, is exhibiting around twenty photographs of the Antarctic ecosystem, which the group visited for two months, between January and early March 2022.

Greenpeace’s 2022 Antarctic Photo Exhibition is taking place on the fourth floor of I’Park Mall in Yongsan, Seoul, until the end of July.

The photos in the exhibition show how Antarctica is being affected by climate change.

“We expect that this exhibition will provide visitors with an invaluable opportunity to reflect upon how the climate crisis is changing our lives,” Greenpeace said.

We’ve gathered several photographs of the exhibition here.
