THE DUTCH photographer, Thijs Heslenfeld, set himself a challenge to visit the South Atlantic and Antarctica and to create an original photo-essay - well aware of the clichés that had to be avoided with such a location and subject matter. Heslenfeld declined to join the obvious, scientific expeditions that regularly attend the area, and eschewed the tourist cruisers that offer a ‘taste’ of the icy wastelands from the comfort of a heated observation lounge.
Thijs has published the book under his own imprint and it has already been a remarkable - and well deserved - success in Holland. Warmly (or perhaps coldly) recommended.
