Wim Tellier in Antarctica
Protect 7-7 is a unique art exhibit which was held on the 7th continent. Wim Tellier, the author, wanted to find a place everyone would recognize to be Antarctica where he could exhibit his six 20m X 40m photographs. He chose Utsteinen and the Princess Elisabeth Station for the emblem it conveys.
