Southern Light: Images from Antarctica

Neilson, an experienced mountaineer, rock climber, author and photographer, presents a stunning, large-format book showcasing the beauty of Antarctica. For this project, Neilson embarked on six journeys to Antarctica (Mawson Station 1990-91, 2004-05, Antarctic Peninsula 2006, 2008, Ross Sea 2009) and the sub-Antarctic (South Georgia 2002, 2008) to explore the wonders of this frozen landscape and capture its exquisite light. The beautiful images, taken with a large-format view camera, cover a wide range including Deception Island, Cuverville Island, Paradise Harbour, Mount Français, Port Charcot, Lemaire Channel, Elephant Island, Framnes Mountains, Prince Charles Mountains, Vestfold Hills, Transantarctic Mountains, Mount Erebus, McMurdo Dry Valleys, Scott’s Terra Nova hut, Borchgrevink’s Southern Cross hut, penguins, albatross, and seals. This is the sort of book where you want to just view one page a day and revel in the grandeur. This book weighs 6.5 pounds.
