    Absolutely agree with your sentiment on being there. If it isn't documented then as the song goes, you don't know what you've got till it's gone.

    • @peterwolf3001
      @peterwolf3001 2 года назад

      it kind of is already documented. these are just some more of what we have already available. I'm not knocking anyone for their decisions in fact its great that were talking about this stuff and I wrestle with the impact of everything I do too. lets not forget the impact of our storage that's sits on energy hungry servers storing everybody's stuff in the badly named "cloud" seems to be the biggest worry. whether we take trips like this or not we are all contributing data to this poorly thought out storage solution.

    Absolutely awesome video, regarding some people being critical of you for making the trip due to your carbon footprint and the environment etc. On the flip side, thanks to photographers, videographers and vloggers like yourself we get to see the delicate balance of nature and how we should do more to protect it.
    There’s a lot worse environmentally, that’s causing rising sea temperatures, climate change etc.
    I see a video like this as educational (as well as the awesome photography) so well done for highlighting and responding to criticism in such an informative and sensible way Adam 👏

    @casscas762 2 года назад +16

    Of all the people who would travel to sensitive ecosystems, I think you’d be among one of the most respectful. You have done such great work showing us Fairy Creek, you’re the man for this job! Thank you for showing us the beauty most of us will never get the chance to see.

    I agree with your sentiments entirely. If man does not change his ways soon we stand to lose such a great and important part of our planet. Thankyou for sharing this adventure workshop with us.
    Your images have really captured the beauty and serenity of this pristine harsh and unforgiving location. 🙂

  • @christophertaylor7021
    @christophertaylor7021 2 года назад

    I fully respect and support your views regarding your trip to Antarctica. People like you, showing the beauty of the natural world for all to see, are also helping to protect it from exploitation. I also enjoyed that you displayed some B&W images in the video. The contrast of dark clouds and the light on the landscape was excellent. Cheers!

  • @michelebullock9867

    Finally getting to my backlogged RUclips videos.
    I don’t know if it’s the video itself or the obscenely large TV I’m watching it on right now, but wow! What beauty!
    As far as I’m concerned there’s no one better to show the beauty of any location in this world. Your iceberg shots are so ethereal, as were the wider shots of the bay. Everyone should see these. The more that great photographers like yourself not only document the ecosystems, but do it in an artful way, the more people can see why we need to protect what we have left. You’re the new David Attenborough 👏😉
    Thanks for always taking us along on your journeys. Don’t listen to the few trolls. Most of that is just jealousy. Your work is appreciated by the majority. 🤗

    Absolutely fantastic vlog and images with a message. Fully agree with your views about people’s disconnect with nature. I also notice that landscape and wildlife photogtaphers are probably the most respectful among nature enthusiasts that I’ve seen where they try to capture and leave the same place the way they found it.

    I love the pre and post processing of the photos. The dark skies in the background are lovely. Thanks for taking all of us there and sharing the beauty. The world needs to be aware of the wonderful wildlife and stark landscapes of the Antarctic. I believe that the only hope for preserving the world right now hinges on building appreciation of various environments. Good work Adam.....

    Went there myself in 2016 and it was the trip of a lifetime! Very different as we were on a smallish vessel with just under 100 passangers and sailed from Ushuaia - but the impressions and route in Antarctica was much the same. I also went kanoing - like moving in a cocktailglass because of the noise of the ice. I love to be taken back and your photos do some justice to this magnificent landscape. We had a much more casual approach and much less "luxury" on the boat but I preferred it that way - everyone to his taste. Woderful experience and wonderful images...

  • @gregoryspowell
    @gregoryspowell 2 года назад +2

    Interesting take on the carbon footprint ethics of this trip. My experience on this trip really had a profound effect on my concerns for the environment that really has reinvigorated my desire to be even more responsible about my carbon footprint. The huge blubber storage tanks at deception island were such a wake up call. The pristine nature of the environment is so special.

  • @CraigDory

  • @karynhonor5046
    @karynhonor5046 2 года назад

    Loved the photos especially the one with the hut and the 2 penguins in the foreground. I wanted to let you know that I went to Arizona for a week (first trip since the pandemic) and had time to kill each night while I sat alone in the airbnbs - I binge watched (again) many of yours and Gavins episodes to kill time in an enjoyable way. It reminded me of your F4 road trip series (bought the entire package) that I loved so much. Just want to say thanks for making my trip that much more enjoyable.

  • @thomaspopple2291
    @thomaspopple2291 2 года назад +8

    Thanks for the great footage. I wonder if those people worried about your carbon footprint are as worried about their own. Unless they don't use any electricity, water, heat, cars, etc, they should shut it. Thanks for bringing awareness to such an amazing area.

    Beautiful images, thanks for sharing!
    Ethical travel: The answer is not to eliminate travel because of its impact, rather it is to make travel better. Too often that naysayer crowd will try to reframe their inability to travel as a heroic "choice" not to do so. It's easy to condemn something like travel if you have no interest in it or don't have the means to participate. I personally cannot afford to go to Antarctica right now (or ever), but I won't lie about it and pretend that I don't go because of superior morals.

  • @shannonsnow8298

  • @gregs2466
    @gregs2466 2 года назад

    Everyone has an opinion, but photographers have the environment in mind with everything they do when they are out in it. Deb Lashbrook on here said it well. Not a lot of people are able to make a trip to Antarctica, so I appreciate you showing us your wonderful photos. Again, thanks Adam.

    Some wonderful images, Adam. Love the bit where you and Alan get photo bombed by a penguin. I think you raised some very valid thoughts about our disconnection from nature and one could question the carbon footprint of Sir David Attenborough, but his contribution to conserving nature through his work is immense. I like the way your video and photos use the human element to tell a story, as you said, of a darker history, but also of the beauty of nature.👍👍👍

    I have noticed a certain characteristic in many of the people I've run into that have shown themselves to be ignorant and closed minded. They spend very little time, if any, traveling away from their immediate neighborhoods and have denied themselves the beauty of the world, AND ITS CULTURAL DIVERSITIES. The more I travel, the more I appreciate the world and the many different cultures in it. Beautiful images, Adam.

    Well said regarding connection to nature Adam. The disconnect is tremendous here in Australia where we have some of the world's most special forests but very few travelling even to their outskirts such as the takayna Tarkine. Those that do soon have a changed appreciation of the value of natural places.

    I watched James video and I watched Nigel's as well. Both of them took some fantastic photos. Nigel's two meter pano was especially impressive. However, once again you've shown why you're my favorite. The iceberg photos just have an atmosphere about them that goes beyond simple landscape photography. Even on RUclips they have a look and feel that exudes the cold, desolate beauty of Antarctica.

    Thanks for going and sharing for free. I hope the negative feelings that some people had towards your trip did not bother you too much. I probably would have deleted them and not responded. But your reply was well thought out and spoken. I encourage you to keep up your brand of environmentalism. It is much more palatable and effective than some of the radicals out there selling their brand of negativity.

    Hi Adam, Great Adventure and wonderful pictures!
    Yes, I totally agree with your thoughts about preserving nature and wilderness, as professional photographers we must document the actual situation, fur any further reference, as an historical archive, as a real image of nature is. And for sure we cannot do it sitting on a couch, pointing fingers to people who invest their lives for nature. Well said Adam, no justify is required ;-)

    Totally agree on your reasons for being there. The disconnect from nature makes people care less about the importance of the beauty around us and how important it is to save what we can. Imagine the images you take one day not being there? Its amazing to see such majestic locations and is easily more stunning than large cities.

  • @JohnDrummondPhoto
    @JohnDrummondPhoto 2 года назад

    This is one of those videos where I have to break up my comments by section:
    0:45 - I know it's Antarctic summer, but the guy in shorts and a tee shirt is just showing off.
    3:15 - Gentoo penguin: "These photographers keep getting in the way of my trek back to the roost. I don't think they understand penguins' needs. We need to do something about that."
    6:30 - the lowland snow on Petermann Island is very pink. I presume that's from penguin guano? In which case, ... PHEW
    9:30 - I agree with your point that, as an environmental advocate and photographer, you do a great service by documenting the beauty and preciousness of a threatened land for the world to see in awe and wonder.
    Summary: awesome images from what must have been a wonderful trip. I admit, I hate the cold; but it looks like that time of year, the temperature is a little above freezing so maybe I should consider a workshop before I get too old. Will you do this again next year?
