An artist is at work, to capture and communicate Antarctica

 Colorado College student Elle Emery interned at Polar Geospatial Center last summer (see prior post and FIRST post in this blog) and is using orthorectified imagery and digital elevation models to render two of the Marie Byrd Land volcanoes in 3D.  But that is just part of Elle's senior thesis!!  As well as a geology major for her bachelors degree, Elle is working on an art minor -- using the volcanoes as the central element of her senior portfolio in printmaking.  We've captured some of the initial steps in the process in photos (credits to Mary Ourisman!) and will provide some updates as her work develops over the coming weeks.

These are lino prints... etching is next.
