Look for evidence of climate change in Antarctica with an iPhone

Portrait and reporter Manfredi Gioacchini recently took a tour of Antarctica, both to explore the beauty of the region and to understand the climate change situation that is happening on the White Continent. And the special thing is that he took all his photos with an iPhone 11.

Gioacchini has traveled the world and reported on people and landscapes everywhere. In response to the question of why he only took photos with smartphones instead of professional cameras on his latest trip, he emphasized on compactness, convenience.

"Everything is easier when you can take your smartphone 'camera' everywhere. I am also impressed with the performance of the Antarctic cold, the battery is not exhausted. so fast along the way. "

In addition to using his iPhone to take still photos, Gioacchini also uses it for video recording and recording."Most of the time I use my smartphone to record videos, especially the recording of noises in Antarctica. The breaking sounds show that the ice sheets here are melting, as a result of climate change."

In some cases, he also uses the Night Mode night feature, but most of the photos are in bright enough conditions because the Sun almost never sets in Antarctica.

After returning, Gioacchini said that this was the most memorable trip of his life ever."I traveled all over the world, but not as memorable as in Antarctica, I took a lot of beautiful pictures. Here, you are surrounded by purity and tranquility."

2020 is the first year that Antarctica reaches a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius, and Gioacchini wants to use his pictures as a reminder to everyone about the consequences of climate change, a call that purity, tranquility here is something to be preserved.
