Region: Antarctica , The Arctic

Destinations: Antarctic Circle, Antarctic Peninsula, Greenland, Falkland Islands, South Georgia

Ship: m/v Plancius

Highlights: Blue Whale, Southern Elephant Seal

The past 20 years I have experienced the prevelage of being guest on board for 20 times or more. Both the arctic and Antarctic regions not only are the most impresive regions of this planet, but they also offer me the best occasions to learn about living at this planet. During this years I have been able to ad thousands of new images to the image bank of the Int. World Wide Fund for Nature. If I could embar tomorow, I would not hessitate to do again. wim van passel
