The mystic nature of South G
St. Andrews Bay is the jewel in the crown for nature lovers when it comes to exploring the wild coast line of South Georgia. 100,000's of 1,000's of breeding King Penguins interwoven with 1,000's and 1,000's

lining up a shot ~ Print Available
Something I always attempt to strive in improving with taking photographs of wildlife is to find a better angle. Just taking a photo of a whale isn't enough anymore, which is sort of a funny thing to say

Got a lot of growing to do
The breeding cycle in Antarctica is a really small window of time where the weather and food availability is good enough. This allows thousands of animals and all the species to breed, look after the little

This shot reminds of me of what persistence is all about! One of my main roles when I am working on an expedition ship is to sit in the bridge or simple be outside and try to find whales for people to

How would you react? ~ Print Available
Wildlife has always fascinated people and having the opportunity to get up close with certain species seems to be on a lot of people's 'to-do-lists'. However, I think a combination of amazing videography

During this time of the year and perhaps it is more this year than previously years due to travel restrictions but I find myself yearning to get back down to the Crystal Desert aka Antarctica! This print

An aspect to the life marine mammals and birds that no one ever considers is how they stay hydrated. Funny enough, even though they spend the majority of their lives in the ocean they can't really drink

feeding time! ~ Prints available
Bubble net feeding is a unique group feeding behaviour that various humpback populations display around the world. Most dominantly this behaviour has been observed and studied along the west coast of North

crowded piece of ice...
well, sometimes there is only one piece of ice anywhere near by that you can chill out on. As a result, I guess everyone close by makes a rush for it and before you know it the whole neighbourhood is in

A nesting colony in South Georgia ~ Prints Available
King penguins at a nesting colony is quite the site to behold. At times a nesting site population can be in the 10's of 1,000's, which can leave you speechless with your jaw on the ground. Prints available

Red Rock Ridge, south of the Antarctic Circle
Its a view that I was able to witness and photograph a few seasons ago. The story behind this trip is one of the best luck with weather and ice allowing us to get to this landing site and enjoy this view.

Can't get enough of these guys!
COVID has lead me to have the opportunity to go through so many photos from past expeditions that I completely forgot I even had on my external hard drive. So here are so many that I may have posted and

busy place to have a nap
When you have a constant flow of neighbours walking around you it seems pretty easy for these guys to ignore them and nap away. South Georgia is probably one of the most intense and animal packed places

There is something special about watching whales breaching over and over again. Something though that always surprises me when I am lucky enough to observe such a behaviour from a whale is the speed in

That is a lot of food
One thing that whales can do very well is eat! These marine mammals have evolved to consume tonnes of food a day in their feeding grounds when the food is available. These are humpback whales, which are

How do they get up there?
After spending the past few summers working and exploring along the Antarctic peninsula I am still stumped at times about how penguins manage to get to certain places. I am sure you are aware that their
