In February 2020 I took a true trip of a lifetime to Antarctica. I'd been dreaming of taking this trip for years and, in retrospect, I'm so incredibly grateful I did it this year (I arrived home on February 27, just two weeks before lockdown). I've been lucky enough to have lived and travelled all over the world, but Antarctica was truly unique, awe-inspiring and can only be described in superlatives. What stuck with me, though, was the sense that humans are simply visitors in this raw, vast and beautiful place. Here is my first image which, I hope, will give you a sense of the beautiful majesty of the place.
Fish Islands, Antarctica.
I made a short film of what I saw in Antarctica. If you'd like to see it, head over to YouTube or you can watch it here on Flickr.
I wrote three blog posts about this trip, if you'd like read more and see some more documentary images of the trip:

Antarctica, Part 2 (the day this picture was taken in the Fish Islands is described in this part of the blog)

From that same morning in the Fish Islands. I woke up early (around 5am) and when I saw this scene out the window, I jumped up, got dressed and headed up on deck immediately. This is what I had dreamt Antarctica would look and feel like - all blues and greens and silence. I wandered the decks of the ship almost alone and I will never forget the silence of that morning. From the upper deck of the ship you can sometimes see - like in this photo - the greens/blues of the 70% - 90% of the iceberg under water.

Pléneau Bay, at the south end of the Lemaire Channel on the Antarctic Peninsula, is also known as The Iceberg Graveyard. It's a fantastic place to see many, many large and gorgeously-shaped icebergs. If you're lucky (which we were first a few minutes at the beginning of our first outing there), you will get still waters (or near still waters) for fantastic reflections.
I would estimate that this one was at least 70-100 feet tall.
