Surreal Images From the Irma International Relief Effort at Princess Juliana International Airport
There were some mighty aircraft that landed and helped provide relief to Sint Maarten in the wake of Hurricane Irma. And while we all heard about the relief flights coming in, none of us were there to take in the visual of what such an enormous humanitarian effort really looked like. Or so we thought.
Well, of course there were people there. And fortunately for us, there were some very talented photographers on the airport property who took some extraordinary photos of the scenes at Princess Juliana International Airport.
The photos below were taken by Irving Maduro, a talented photographer who works at Princess Juliana International Airport. He captured quite an incredible array of photos that I think you’re going to enjoy.
