“Who’s going first?” To dive into the great unknown waters of Antartica is a huge risk for these little guys and they know that all too well. Pacing up and down finding the perfect spot to dive from. Who know’s what predator will be waiting for them down below...👹 ✧ @aurora_expeditions #auroraexpeditions #Antarctica #AntarcticPeninsula #kingpenguin #penguins #penguinlove #southgeorgiaisland #southgeorgia #EverythingAntarctica #NatGeoYourShot #BBCTravel
The true, yet ever so harsh and heartbreaking reality of a baby penguin on South Georgia Island 💔 ✧ #Antarctica #AntarcticPeninsula #kingpenguin #penguins #babypenguin #southgeorgiaisland #southgeorgia #EverythingAntarctica #polarpioneer #auroraexpeditions #NatGeoYourShot #BBCTravel
Nothing like trying to have a private and intimate moment with your lover surrounded by 10,000 other friends and me, fiddling around trying to work out the best composition 😂 sorry guys but this was a personal lifetime goal to capture you standing exactly like this, acting especially like that in a place just like this, so thanks 🙊♥️ ✧ @aurora_expeditions #Antarctica #AntarcticPeninsula #kingpenguin #penguins #penguinlove #southgeorgiaisland #southgeorgia #EverythingAntarctica #polarpioneer #auroraexpeditions #NatGeoYourShot #BBCTravel
A very rare shot of me filming in the field but hey…Antartica right? ❄️ Aside from the fact that the amount of snow falling on me within a few minutes was more than I’d ever seen in my entire life, it snowed more on this day than any other day on the expedition but not only that but it was our first landing on the Antarctic continent AND we were met with our first colony of penguins too (and if you saw the ridiculous penguin collection I keep beside my desk right now you can only imagine how hard it was to not cry and let alone focus). I mean…the snow, the baby Gentoo penguins, the penguin HIGHWAYS (what 😳), snow capped mountains, floating icebergs….eh, it was 360 degrees of pure beauty to take in and film. Here I was filming on the OM-D EM-1 Mark ll with the incredibly sharp 300mm f/4.0 M.Zuiko PRO lens. Swipe right to see a screen grab of the magic it was filming… ✧ Rare-but-flattering-because-covered-head-to-toe-image-of-me taken by @laurenepbath 🙈 @olympus_au #olympusinspired #Antarctica #AntarcticPeninsula #iceberg #olympus #omdem1markll #olympus300mmf4pro #EverythingAntarctica #polarpioneer #auroraexpeditions #NatGeoYourShot #BBCTravel
So I’m back! Not officially but I’ve returned home from the ends of the earth…and live to tell the tail 😋 I’ve been on expedition down to Antarctica with @aurora_expeditions and was contracted by them to film the entire voyage…BUT I have to say, when time permitted you couldn’t blame me for taking a few sneaky stills and sharing them here whilst I’m neck deep in sorting and editing footage for the next month 😰 I thought it be fitting to share this image from onboard our vessel, the ‘Polar Pioneer’ ⛴ • she was small and nimble, originally built as an ice-strengthened research vessel in Finland in 1982, so to say she had character inside and out was an understatement! She ended up being the comfort for when we got sick, the protector of all through rough seas and quickly became my home away from home for the next three weeks at sea 🤮🌊🛌 In the background floats the largest and the longest iceberg I saw whilst down there. I’ll try to give some context of it size by putting a few shots I took on my iPhone in my story soon….there’s a few to fit her in! ✧ 🌊➰ ✧ Taken on my OM-D EM-1 Mark ll whom battled the most incredibly challenging environmental and physical wildlife situations I think a camera could go through over a three week period! I’ll tell you more soon! @olympus_au #olympusinspired ✧ #Antarctica #AntarcticPeninsula #iceberg #olympus #omdem1markll #EverythingAntarctica #polarpioneer #auroraexpeditions #NatGeoYourShot #BBCTravel
Endless grape vines wind through the valley of Sion leaving no home, backyard or street corner untouched. It’s indescribable where these vines are planted and mind blowing to imaging picking seasons. Really, it’s only a site you’d believe if you saw it with your own eyes 🍇💫 @olympus_au #olympusinspired #Sion #Switzerland
