Journey to Antarctica

April 21, 2005

Antarctica - a huge, remote, pristine, mysterious, frozen wilderness continent, even today quite inaccessable to humans except for the few who dare and are lucky enough to venture there. A place that challenges a nature photographers imagination.

Only during a few short summer months is it possible to briefly access its outer edges by ship before a long winter with howling gales and blizzards closes in once again. David, with Filmmaker Toni Davis, secured rotating berths on Linblad Cruises SS Endeavour.

Altogether 5 voyages to the south were undertaken by David, Lucy, Toni and ProCams Ian Bates along with Richard Todd of Aquarius Productions.
