Thought you might enjoy this archive photograph of the Cape Reclus refuge, Danco Coast, Antarctica. Built in 1956, a small party of surveyors overwintered there in close quarters the following year. Think of the endless night, the freezing fog, the slowly revolving icebergs in the bay

Same same but different: Ben Denzer's 20 Slices of Meat (actual sausage slices this time: "Bound in mortadella with inlaid fat lettering.")
Which pairs well with his "20 Slices of American Cheese" (hardbound Kraft slices in their plastic wallets)

Im a big fan of Christopher Hänsli's Mortadella—in which every slice of a mortadella sausage has been painstakingly painted (front and back) with commentary from John Berger on "the slow changing tenderpink constellations"

Came across the concept of the 'florilegium'—a visual catalogue of the plants growing in a specific garden. I thought you might enjoy these intricate and beautifully composed botanical engravings from Basilius Besler's Hortus Eystettensis (The Eichstätt Garden), 1613
