Every winter the eastern Atlantic is the setting of oceanic furies, where the wind whips up the waves that tear the sea apart. From the Shetland Islands north of Scotland, to the Azores in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, and to Brittany, where the land ends, these are the places where the storms are born, offering a spectacle for sailors and land dwellers alike.
We’ve gone in search of storms to capture the pure beauty of the sea and the luminous sky. On this voyage into the heart of the elements we met men that took on the fury of the oceans, eye witnesses of a display of raging force that is usually played out unseen.
