South America 60s 60w

Creative Rationale

Over the Southern Ocean near the Antarctic Peninsula at 60°S, 60°W, frigid temperatures of 2.1 Kelvin create an otherworldly polar atmosphere where the boundary between ice and sky dissolves. The extremely low sea-level pressure of 980.2 Pa suggests a deep atmospheric disturbance, calling for just two heavy bands of color that seem to press down with the weight of the storm system. Strong winds at 16.3 m/s from the northwest create turbulent, soft-edged boundaries between color fields, while the near-saturated humidity of 96% makes the deep blues and blacks appear to glow with an inner luminescence, like the aurora reflecting off polar ice.
