It is very hard to try to explain how incredible Antarctica is if you have not been lucky enough to travel there! For those of you who have, you know what I mean. For those that have not, I will (eventually) be adding more images to help you understand, as words are just not enough! / Let’s just say, I really really really wish I could go back (with a better camera and a longer lens)! :-) / / (Antarctica) / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / /

Aerial photographs don’t work unless you fly with a good pilot, or you fly yourself. This shot was the result of a cooperative chopper pilot who could imagine what I wanted, late evening light (for summer in Antarctica), and a chance flight for staff at the end of a long day guiding tourists. / / Lucky me… Available for purchase as a Limited Edition print from my website

Polar Bear mum and cubs relax on an ice floe. / / The sea ice is shrinking at an alarming rate, which has a huge impact for the bears as this is their main hunting ground. More and more bears are being found to have drowned while trying to find the ice, even though they can swim up to sixty miles or so! / / I hope the ice does not completely vanish and that they always have somewhere to hunt! / / (Spitsbergen – Scandinavian Arctic) / / >< / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / /

A near vertical aerial view of a lone Emperor Penguin on an ice floe, in the Antarctic pack ice. I have been umming and erring about including this image… it isn’t great small, but once you see the penguin on the ice, casting her (his?) little shadow, it gives you a sense of vastness, loneliness, and isolation. We’d been sort-of stuck in the ice for 5 days, and were on a helicopter recce flight to find an open lead… I was kind of glad I was in a working helicopter, and not trapped on the shifting maze of ice below. Not that this penguin was trapped, or probably even worried about being by itself… funny how we project our feelings onto the animal world sometimes.
