Antarctica doesn't distribute its extraordinary moments evenly. It just keeps interrupting, and you keep having to decide whether to put your fork down. This is a photographer's account of ten days on the Antarctic Peninsula: the wildlife on its own terms, a floating masterclass from eight photographers with eight distinct ways of seeing, and what it actually costs to document a place you know is changing. I came back with a clearer sense of my own eye than I had going in, and that's the most valuable thing a trip can give you.
