Antarctica!

As some of you know or may not know i have been in antarctica for the last 3 weeks.

 

These photos dont even do it justice. I have plenty of gro pro footage and will be making a movie once home.

\unforuntately the best photos i need to crop as they are to big for the uploader.....ill do that when im home. but in reality photos dont do this place justice, cause in reality we are the aliens down there and thats why the animals are so curious about us. 

 

i have photos of multiple leaopard seal attacks and go pro footage of them but its too much editing for now.

i am currently uploading a small video to vimeo we made for the crew of the expedition in terms of saying thanks. once the video is uploaded on wimeo i will post a link.

my facebook has plenty more photos but sorry thats for people i actuelly know. Ill post more in the future.

 

thanks

Wed, 2014-03-26 23:56

 an expedition of nature & wild life and escaping to the only continent we as humans have not destroyed in some way. its a surreal fealing when your kayaking the waters and all you can hear are the cracks from glaciers , we call it glacier talking.

it was truly and amazing experieince and one i will never forgot.

Looks like magic, and the leopard seal eyeing off the kayak is a truely one off photo.

Forget the bucket list - its top of mine but always will be a little "sad" to go there as a close school friend died in the NZ 901 plane crash on Mt Erebus yrs ago.

 I flew over earlier this year,as a fundraiser for Telethon. I can only imagine what it would be like.

Fantastic experience for you,and I imagine it would be very hard to settle down when you back into civilization. 

Maybe you were somewhere down there in this pic.lol

Epic mate. Has been on the list for a while. Kayaking with those whales looks so good!

Is drysuit diving there a realistic possibility?

____________________________________________________________________________

When asked by a non-fisherman 'how many fishing rods do you really need?' the correct answer is either:

n+1 (where n is the number of fishing rods you currently own); or

n-1 (where n is the number of fishing rods which would cause your significant other to dump you.

Thu, 2014-03-27 20:44

 only one or two expeditions do it these days due to the insurance money and costs... it is possible if you wan to pay big bucks and have experieince in dry suit diving , im pretty sure you need X number of dives completed dry suit.

Out of interest, what does a trip like that set you back (just the antarctica bit, and not including flights to south america).

Reckon it might be on the list for next year after some central american tarpon chasing.
