360 images captured by Geography PhD students Christiaan Diemont and Charlotte Curry in the Salto del Olivares, Chile, as part of Charlotte's PhD fieldwork in April 2023

"We share a range of images taken along our hike up to the Salto del Olivares, in the Central Chilean Andes (33°10’40.50”S, 70°07’22.50”W). Our pictures capture a palimpsest landscape, with views of a mountainous glacier valley, landforms (such as glacier moraines and alluvial fans), and the Río Olivares. We hope these images provide a flavour for what exploring a glacial landscape might look like, and excite future scientific study in remote areas."

Captured by Matthew, a BA Geography student, in August 2023: 

"Through my 360° images, I aimed to capture Lundy’s diverse points of interest - as well as being a remote site of striking rock formations and ecological importance (Lundy was designated England’s first Marine Conservation Zone in 2010), the island is steeped in historical and folkloric significance. My first image shows Lundy’s Celtic inscribed standing stones on Beacon Hill, dating from the 5th century AD. With the exception of the Old Light, once the country’s tallest lighthouse, the standing stones’ surroundings of grazing land and sheer cliffs have remained virtually unchanged since their inception; this preservation largely due to the island’s remoteness. The sea is visible on both sides of Lundy in this image, displaying just how narrow the island is.

I also chose to include a view captured from the lantern room of Old Light, emphasising the sparsity and apparent barrenness of the island’s plateau surface. However, it is far from barren in reality, with a richly biodiverse and unique ecosystem – Lundy is celebrated for its wealth of fungi, for example, owing to the island’s climate and uncontaminated soil. The lighthouse view also looks over a fabled site of Lundy folklore, the supposed ‘Giant’s Graves’ discovered in 1851. The final image chosen was taken from one of Lundy’s many rocky outcrops, displaying a view of clifftop moorland overlooking the Atlantic ocean. Battery Point, an abandoned 19th century signal station, is visible to the right below a craggy precipice."

Charles takes us on a fascinating journey across Sheffield, exploring various urban development schemes and considering the past, present and future of the city. From the Moorfoot office building on The Moor, through Pinstone Street, the Peace Gardens, Heart of the City 2, Fargate, Castlegate, Exchange Street to Kelham Island, we observe how the city is changing the way it uses spaces to support local people and businesses.
