Awesome Antarctica Photography

Antarctica is an amazing region, and for those lucky enough to visit the cold, icy place I’m sure that the cameras are always out of the bag. But to get the fantastic photographs that you see on the brochures – you need to pick the right time and know all there is to photographing an Antarctic subject! As you may notice as you browse through these photographs, many of them have been taken at sunset or sunrise to get the best available light, however the closer you get to the South Pole you’ll either have light 24/7 or none at all! Also, consider the use of a long lens to ensure you won’t miss any spectacular experiences such as a whale breaching!

Even if you never plan to venture into the Antarctic, please enjoy the photos and click any image below to find out more about the photographer’s work!

    Wow! Spectacular shots! It must have been a lot of work to get all those great shots. A lot of them belong in a frame. Awesome is definitely the word for this collection.

    Nice, but # 3 is in El Chaltén, about 2.000km from Antarctica…
