Photographer Vincent Fournier has a strong focus on the scientific, charting astronaut training fields through to antarctic research bases. His work captures the beauty and often otherworldly disconnection from reality found on the extremes of scientific research.

In a large majority of his landscape photos it’s easy to draw a comparison to Sci-Fi epic’s like Star War’s planets of Tatooine (home of Luke Skywalker) and the snow planet of Hoth. Did someone just spot an AT-AT?

Spotted in this months always inspiring issue of WIRED UK magazine.
