Region 60s 0e
Creative Rationale
Over the Southern Ocean at 60 degrees south latitude on the prime meridian, this location sits in the notorious "Screaming Sixties" where powerful westerly winds circle Antarctica unimpeded by landmasses. The moderate wind speed of 15.2 m/s from the southwest, combined with low pressure and high humidity, creates a dynamic atmospheric system typical of this region's stormy maritime climate. I've interpreted these conditions through Tannahill's expressive mark-making approach, using sweeping gestural forms that suggest wind-driven spray and turbulent air masses, while the temperature anomaly of 13K warmer than normal introduces unexpected warmth through golden and amber tones breaking through the cooler oceanic palette.
