LARISSA Project - Larsen Ice Shelf System Research in Antarctica #1951014 (License: Personal Use)

The LARISSA (Larsen Ice Shelf System, Antarctica) logo features a stylized human profile emerging from icy textures, evoking both scientific observation and the fragile beauty of polar environments. The design merges cartographic elements with artistic abstraction, emphasizing the interdisciplinary nature of the project-spanning glaciology, climatology, and oceanography. It visually communicates the mission’s focus on understanding rapid ice-shelf disintegration and its global implications.
