"Earth from Below" is photojournalist Stephen Alvarez’s chronicle of the world’s unseen landscapes. For over 15 years he has photographed cave expeditions across the most remote corners of the earth, from the world’s deepest cave in Abkhazia on the border with Russia to the vertigo-inspiring pits of his native Tennessee.
Alvarez has descended Mexico’s Cave of the Swallows, navigated dangerous underground rivers in Papua New Guinea, and slogged through Central American caves. While rappelling in the sun-drenched Arabian Desert, Alvarez encountered one of the largest cave chambers in the world, and his search for the bones of early man in Pacific grottos transported him to the origins of human history.
General Admission tickets available at 9:30 am this morning for Stephen Alvarez's lecture next Thursday (11/18).
IRIS Nights is a weekly lecture series hosted by the Annenberg Space for Photography in Century City.
Man, to be in those caves must be breathtaking *sigh*
