Renowned for his evocative images of the Australian landscape, Photographer Jason Kimberley recently completed the journey of a lifetime trekking through the heart of the coldest and most inhospitable place on earth for his latest exhibition, Antarctica.

The ANTARCTICA collection of twenty-five images transports the viewer to another world through intimate portraits, breathtaking icy landscapes, ghostly figures struggling with the elements and some naked figures defying the elements.

Jason’s unparalleled ability to capture a story in a moment of time is remarkable and something that has become the core of his work since Australia Exposed was launched in 2003.

Accompanied by his fellow explorers Peter Hillary and Jason Veale. The group man hauled all their provisions and equipment in sledges across the windswept Horse Shoe Valley on the edge of The Ellsworth Mountains. Temperatures ranged from -15 to -45.
Jason spent three weeks living in and capturing the wonder of a land at eighty degrees South - where the sun did not set, where lichen will not grow on rocks, where your human companions are the only life form and the closest permanent habitation is the US base at The South Pole.

“Antarctica is a place where the entire journey is the highlight. Being there, looking across the Polar plateau rising nine thousand feet toward the South Pole some six hundred nautical miles away is truly humbling. Just to survive in this environment is a challenge – to travel, explore, coexist and photograph is something much more.” - Jason Kimberley
