Endless ocean

Crossing the drake passage has been described as the price tag of entry to Antarctica. The peace and serenity of the Antarctic is matched only by the turbulence and drama of the Drake. You cannot have one without the other. This surely feels like the last place on earth. 

Long exposure photographs attempt to replicate the feeling of endless motion, as we crossed this most notorious stretch of salt water. 

In the end, the only way forward; to let go and become at one with the mass of swirling ocean beneath us. Our vessel tossed side to side, blurring lines between peace and pain, and finally greeted by the magical wonderland that is Antarctica.
