Stephen Vaughan - Ultima Thule

So one of the best things about being back at AUCB, is having a gallery on campus, at the moment Stephen Vaughan's Ultima Thule is exhibitioning and will be until the 27th of November, the project takes it's name from an ancient historical term to describe the mysterious northern frontier, representing a distant unknown region at the extreme limit of exploration and discovery. The large format photographs explore the connections between geology, archaeology and history. the images reveal landscapes marked by volcanic activity, shifting tectonic plates, vast glaciers and steaming sulphurous pools. (Words from the exhibition guide, tried scanning but came out really badly)
