LANDSCAPES THAT DEFY DESCRIPTION


I've never been to a place where I felt my photos just don't capture the beauty I saw. Antarctica was like that. Even though I'm very happy with my images, there is no way to convey the scope and grandeur of the seventh continent. The geology was unbelievable, and combined with the glaciers and the dynamic weather, my camera could only approximate the visual impact of the landscapes before me.


I took a number of scenes in such a way that I can stitch them together in Photoshop in an attempt to capture the remarkable scenes, but even this will be a poor attempt. Nothing I can show you comes close to the breathtaking experience of being there.

    A photographer friend just returned this morning from a simultaneous Antarctic expedition on the Polar Star with Cheesemans’ Ecology Tours and his enthusiastic reaction was very much the same. Thank you, Jim, for your magnificent images from the ‘ends of the earth’!
