Travel Photographer Susan Seubert in the Antarctic
The bridge in the early morning hours as we head towards the Antarctic Circle
I recently returned from an epic journey with National Geographic Expeditions where we traveled to the Antarctic Peninsula, the island of South Georgia and the Falkland Islands. The seas were calm for most of the voyage, making for an excellent experience exploring this remote area of the Earth. As the on-board National Geographic Photography Expert, I have the privilege of leading the photography component of this departure. I lecture on the ships about photography and help people improve their technical and storytelling skills so that they return home with a great collection of images. Below is a selection of some of my favorite moments from this fantastic adventure.
Please enjoy the pictures and thank you for visiting!
