Danser avec le vent

Emmanuel Lepage is no stranger to such journeys. Twelve years after sailing aboard the Marion Dufresne towards the French Southern and Antarctic Lands, the author and illustrator once again sets out to sea, this time heading for the Kerguelen Islands.
There, a team of scientists braves the harsh climate to study the local fauna and flora, and the effects of climate change. Invited at the initiative of Christophe Guinet, head of the elephant seal research programs, Lepage joined them to document the realities of fieldwork and the environmental changes already observed by the teams.
Now a master of capturing the beauty of wild landscape through watercolor, Lepage continues his commitment to raising environmental awareness through contemplation and emotion in this deeply human album, which invites readers to reflect on our relationship with the living world.
