Think South: The International Trans-Antarctica Expedition

11.25 × 16.50 inches, 8 pages, Edition of 100
Special thanks to Prof. Scott Vander Zee

“The 1989-1990 International Trans-Antarctica Expedition was organized to bring world attention to the continent of Antarctica as consensus on its thirty-year treaty showed signs of unraveling. Unique in the world, the Antarctic Treaty dedicates the entire continent to rule by consensus, shared scientific research and a ban on military activity. No one owns the continent as long as all agree. —— Cathy de Moll”

In this newspaper, there are two narratives happen in each first five page. The larger text section delves into the expedition process, while a smaller text part (with black lines) unveils the expedition's impact and significance through interviews with members.

1989–1990年国际横贯南极洲探险队的组织是为了让全世界关注南极洲大陆，因为关于其三十年条约的共识有瓦解的迹象。南极条约是世界上独一无二的条约，它规定整个南极大陆由协商一致的方式来统治，共同进行科学研究，并禁止军事活动。只要各方达成一致，就没有人拥有这块大陆。

在这个报纸上，（前五页）每一页都有两条叙事线。更大的字体的部分介绍了此次探险并且讲述了探险中发生的惊心动魄的事；更小字体（有黑线）的部分通过对成员的采访揭示了此次探险带来的巨大影响和深远的意义。
