Ten years in the making, Way Down South features 213 colour photographs showcasing the dramatic landscapes and abundant wildlife of the Antarctic Peninsula, South Georgia, the South Shetland and Falkland Islands in an epic volume of landscape and wildlife photography that takes the viewer on a remarkable visual journey to some of the southern polar region’s most remote, beautiful, fragile, dynamic, and significant locations. And, yes! There's lots of penguins too.

The images are complemented by evocative and thoughtful texts from Greg Mortimer OAM and Howard Whelan, two of the world’s most experienced polar adventurers and expedition leaders. I also share my own experiences and thoughts on photography and travel in the southern polar regions.

It is a big book at 370 x 290 mm with 368 pages, hardcover with dust jacket and weighing in at 3.76 kgs. High production values, including stochastic printing to best represent the quality of the photographs, and lay flat binding for seamless two-page spreads, make the book a premium addition to any coffee table or collection.

Way Down South is for anyone who has been to Antarctica, would love to go to Antarctica, for someone you'd like to encourage to go to Antarctica or who loves photography, travel or beautiful books. And, of course, it would make a perfect Christmas present or two.  

The recommended retail price is AUD$150.00.

I am thrilled to publish this substantial collection of images and to share with you the heady mix of magnificent landscapes and abundant wildlife that has drawn me back time and again.

FOREWORD BY GREG MORTIMER

"... the Antarctic and the subantarctic confront you like a full-frontal nude. They dismay, dazzle and force you to ponder how frail we are as humans.
 
Richard has condensed that into his book. It is one of those books you should leave open on the lounge-room table so you can choose the spread that suits the day and your mood, just like choosing the day’s music."
