#Iceberg #A23a, a 3,900 sq km behemoth, has been adrift in the Weddell Sea for nearly four decades. Calved from the Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf in 1986,. It got stranded on the sea bed for decades before it started moving again recently. It is currently near the tip of the Antarctic Peninsula.

"If #Antarctica were music it would be Mozart. Art, and it would be Michelangelo. Literature, and it would be Shakespeare. And yet it is something even greater; the only place on #earth that is still as it should be. May we never tame it." — Andrew Denton

“The thing that really surprised me was that it [#Earth] projected an air of fragility. And why, I don’t know. I don’t know to this day. I had a feeling it’s tiny, it’s shiny, it’s beautiful, it’s home, and it’s fragile.” Michael Collins — Apollo 11

First in a series of close up shots of our first #handmadeglobe. This one was delivered less than 2 weeks ago.

We are open for new #commissions. Orders finalised in December are expected to be dispatched around the end of February.

This is our very first #globe in circulation, with the serial #1. Commissioned in September 2024, it already reached its final destination. It is our best work to date and we are very proud of it.
