The Illustration for Where the leaves Fall magazine Issue 10.

“…The winter just gone was the windiest and snowiest of the three winters I’ve spent at Rothera. Although we can’t label any one season as being the result of climate change, it does give us an indication of the types of weather the Peninsula could see in the future.” John Law is an Antarctic atmospheric scientist for British Antarctic Survey. He has spent three winters at Rothera Research Station, where he continues the long meteorological record from Rothera. For the Issue 10 of @wtlfmag I illustrated an article where John Law describes his work at Rothera Research Station.

A full page illustration for Where the Leaves Fall magazine. 

The illustration follows the thoughts of a mother on bringing a child into climate crisis.

…How do I tell my son about the climate crisis without frightening him? First, I think, I must show him how to love nature. I must help him connect with and respect everything on the planet - human, animal or plant.”

Essay by @katie_dancey . Where the Leaves Fall is a magazine exploring humankind’s connection with nature through the intersection between social justice and the environment, art, science, culture, philosophy and food.
