I have been fortunate enough to travel to both the sub-Antarctic islands and the Antarctic Continent several  times. On each visit I am just in awe of the wild and hostile environment  of that area of Planet Earth.

The opportunity to see abundant and unique wildlife that have adapted to the extreme climate and the fury of the Oceans is fundamental to my excitement of each visit.

Penguins particularly have become a passion. I have spent hours upon hours, in all sorts of weather, watching the humanoid and often comical behavior of these extra-ordinary birds.

On these occasions the stresses and tragedy of modern life dissipates and you become truly at one with creation and nature.
