    About this ebook

    Photographer Dave Brosha’s follow up to Northern Light accentuates the beautiful, fragile, and remote landscapes of Earth’s southernmost regions.

    When one thinks of the most remote place on Earth, Antarctica is a strong candidate for many people. It's a remarkably isolated place, a place with some of the harshest weather systems on the planet, and a place that is both prohibitively expensive and logistically challenging to travel to. Despite this challenging persona, Antarctica is home to some of the most stunning beauty on the planet - home to an abundance of thriving and diverse wildlife populations and incredibly dramatic landscapes.

    In this collection of photographs from Antarctica and it's geographic neighbours, South Georgia and the Falkland Islands, respected nature and portrait photographer and writer, Dave Brosha, turns his attention to documenting one of the "ends of the Earth" in the hope of bringing attention and focus to one of our world's most pristine and beautiful areas.

      Foreword

      BY JOE MCNALLY

      I have always loved going to Canada. It’s physically beautiful, and, well, people are nice. Seriously nice. And accepting, and decent, and they meet the world every day with an open heart. I think my blood pressure goes down as soon as I land there, especially if I’ve come from New York. Canada has a population density of 11 people per square mile. Manhattan? Over 72,000 per square mile. Think about it. Breathe. Dream of Canada.

      I’ve known of Dave Brosha and his stunning work for a long time, but the game changed for me when he invited me to his idyllic farmhouse on Prince Edward Island, where the beauty of his native Canada is emphatically wrought. I spent time teaching in his barn, as a first-time visitor to PEI. We got to know each other, and, spending that time, I was able to connect the dots. Dave was raised up, literally and photographically, in the far north. The extremes of wind, weather, land and light – extraordinary, sparse, forbiddingly beautiful – were his sirens. They became the insistent call he hears in his head and heart when he picks up a camera.

      And I have always believed that you become the photographer you were meant to be, and, especially for a photographer of wild spaces, the DNA of your upbringing and point of origin is crucial. For Dave, the connection to the land is in every frame.

      Me? Photographically, I came of age in Manhattan. The air brakes of trucks jamming into the Holland Tunnel at night was my lullaby, and the rumble of the subway was the daily soundtrack in my head. I moved into New York in 1976, when it was broke, dishevelled, tawdry and more than a little dangerous. It was hot, steamy, raucous and confrontational. I loved it. And, win, lose or draw, I went out there into the hubbub and pounded the crumbling concrete every day with a camera.

      One of the reasons I love Dave’s work is that where he goes with a camera, by and large, there are no sidewalks, and certainly no subways. His images are a lovely respite for head, heart and eyes that are overworked by the internet and the glowing screens of the picture-making business. Visually, he creates a quietly beautiful island he invites us to visit. One of the things I used to do in NYC, when it all got to be too much, was to duck into St. Pat’s Cathedral on Fifth Avenue. It wasn’t for religious reasons oftentimes, I confess. It was for the serenity. It is much the same with Dave’s pictures. They are, pictorially speaking, a meditative lesson in just how beautiful the world can be.

      Yet to describe Dave’s pictures as simply beautiful is to sell them short. As he says in his announcement of this stunning photographic achievement, Antarctica is a favourite place for him in this finite and teetering world. It is indeed achingly beautiful. It is harsh and demands a discipline from those who would approach. It is, perhaps, the last truly wild place, and has endured for millennia. Yet, as you can see in his photos, it is exquisitely fragile. Photographing there, as he says, inspired him, long a lover of the land and the light, to step up his game. To give a damn, and make sure others do, as well.

      So, how to describe a book that is a reverie and a call to action, all at once? You don’t, really. You note its importance and offer the much-deserved accolades, as one would do. But, just as a movie review, however positive or descriptive, isn’t like going to the movie and letting the action, words, music and camera work wash over
