Antarctic

Created as a bespoke leaving gift, this custom Antarctic map captures the vast, remote beauty of the Southern Ocean in refined layered timber. Designed in close collaboration with the commissioning team, the piece highlights key regions of significance to the recipient’s work — from major research zones to the sweeping continental shelf that defines the Antarctic coastline.

The map balances scientific accuracy with artistic craftsmanship, using carefully stacked layers to express depth, ice shelves, and the dramatic contours of the polar landscape. Subtle engraved details honour the recipient’s long contribution to marine conservation and international stewardship of Antarctic waters.

Presented as a one‑of‑a‑kind artwork, this map serves as a meaningful tribute to a career spent protecting one of the world’s most extraordinary and fragile environments.
