In The Guardian Simon Hattenstone recounted Salgado's photographic journey to Antarctica:
They sailed for days on end, looking for the great sculpted icebergs Salgado had heard about. When he found one that looked like a turreted medieval castle, he realized his visit had been worthwhile. He was ecstatic. He had already taken thousands of photographs in Antarctica, but he considered this to be the first real one (from 'High Summer,' July 1, 2005).
