"In my works, I show the Arctic and Antarctica through people who are fearless, creative, working in an environment, which is so hostile to man, but so majestically beautiful. And for me, the north and south poles of the Earth also have a special romanticism and unique scenic possibilities," said Honored Artist of Russia Alexander Polozov.
