Diaries of a Polar Guide | Antarctica – Fly the Drake & Listening to the Earth Breathe
From December 10 - 17th 2025, I had the privilege of guiding and photographing one of the most powerful journeys on Earth—Antarctica. This 16-minute film captures the raw, untouched beauty of the White Continent as we sailed south and flew the Drake Passage, stepping into a world where time slows and nature speaks in whispers.
As a polar and photo guide, I experience Antarctica beyond the frame—through the stillness, the scale, and the deep listening that happens when you stand at the edge of the world. This episode of Diaries of a Polar Guide is about more than epic landscapes and wildlife encounters—it’s about tuning in to the rhythm of the planet and feeling the Earth breathe beneath your feet.
From towering icebergs and endless horizons to intimate moments with wildlife and weather, this expedition reveals Antarctica in its purest form—wild, pristine, and profoundly alive.
