Edges & Elements
Polar journeys to the far edges of the earth, for scale, silence and places rarely reached.
Setting
Ice shelf, pack ice, taiga
Rhythm
Ice and sky decide
For
The well travelled, going further
When
Antarctic summer, Arctic winter
Some places are scenery. These are scale. Ice older than any city. A glacier breaking into the fjord. The midnight sun in summer, the northern lights in winter.
Small, in the best possible way.
What this world is
Three ways these days are spent.
01
True remoteness
Places reached by ship or small plane, where a signal is a rumour.
02
Raw elements
Glaciers, icebergs and wildlife at a scale you cannot see anywhere else.
03
Warm return
A warm cabin and a hot drink waiting at the end of each day.
Where it happens
Three places to begin.
ANTARCTICA
The last untouched continent
By Zodiac among penguin colonies and humpbacks in the Lemaire Channel.
