Biologist Dr. Maria Clauss conveys impressions of the eternal ice of the Arctic and Antarctic through photographs and short texts.
“Ice as far as the eye can see. The exhibition “Ice: A Witness to Time” features impressive photographs by Dr. Maria Clauss from the most remote regions of the Earth. It will be on view through mid-December 2026, Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., at the Grünes Büro, Alter Markt 7, Stralsund.
In countless forms and of overwhelming beauty, the ice of the polar regions has fascinated people for centuries. It covers oceans and landmasses, shapes entire landscapes, and at the same time influences our planet’s climate. Whether it’s freshly fallen snow, multi-year sea ice, or glacial ice thousands of years old: in every form, ice preserves traces of time. It tells the story of the climate of the past and present and of a world in flux.
