Antarctica is a beautiful and demanding place that confounds all preconceptions and once experienced it lights the imagination and irrevocably touches the spirit of travellers in a way quite unlike anywhere else. In today’s highly accessible world there are few places that still hold the power to enthrall and enchant. Antarctica is certainly one of these.
Mere words cannot do justice to the awe-inspiring spectacle of Antarctica. This most southern of continents, this desert of ice, is so unique and uncommon to man’s experience, that even the most dramatic of photographs pale into insignificance when one is confronted by the sheer magnitude, beauty and wonder of an Antarctic landscape.
