I recently got the opportunity to go out with some divers here in Antarctica. By “go out with” I mean I went out to the dive hut (below) with them and watched their gear while they went under the ice.
Dive Hut 12
Entering the water through a drilled out hole in the ice shelf
Shot under the ice (taken the next day through an observation tunnel submerged in the ice shelf)
Fainlly coming back up
Death has no country.
Love has no name.
– Mary Oliver
As though in a dream
we drive
toward the white forest
all day,
all night.

Pioneers! O Pioneers
Come my tan faced children
Follow well in order, get your weapons ready;
Have you your pistols? Have you your sharp edged axes? Pioneers! O Pioneers!
For we cannot tarry here,
We must march my darlings, we must bear the brunt of danger,
We, the youthful sinewy races, all the rest depend. Pioneers! O Pioneers
– Walt Whitman
This city is just chock blocked full of bridges!
Do not go gentle into that good night
Old age should burn and rave at close of day
Rage, rage against the dying of the light
– Dylan Thomas
I’m in Quebec City, Canada for the next few days and with the stress of finishing my master’s thesis past it’s peak, I’ll be behind the camera again and posting a few photos from my adventures up here!
Jeep, you hit the spot on this one.
The road between Aus and Sousesvlei in Namibia is a veritable fairytale of a drive. You start out in desert, drive through scraggy plains, through rolling hills, and in between rocky croppings before arriving to towering sand dunes. You are on dirt roads the entire time, but they are some of the smoothest dirt roads I have traveled on – and smoother than many of our tarred roads in Zambia. The experience makes up for any loss of time you may ‘suffer’.
