Fun in the sun of a different kind takes place in Jason Kimberley’s lastest offering Antartica : A Different Adventure. In 2005, Jason Kimberley spent 16 days in Antarctica with travelling companions Jason Veale and Peter Hillary.  Kimberley’s powerful photographs and engaging stories provide a riveting account of the harsh realities of that expedition.

Part travelogue and part coffee table, Antartica: A Different Adventure would suit readers interested in sharing the physical and emotional journey behind the pictures. For collectors of Australian photography, it also makes a great contemporary companion piece to Frank Hurley’s  records of his expedition to Antartica with Ernest Shackleton at the beginning of last century.
