"Antarctica - Due South"

by Kyle D. Jackson, 2009.

I custom-designed this very special photobook as an enduring chronicle of my voyage to Antarctica in November 2008. The 270 full-colour photos of Antarctic landscape and wildlife were painstakingly selected from thousands of my images, and are accompanied by descriptions and narrative text to take you through this fantastic journey.

These high-quality photobooks are printed and bound by Photobook Canada in Toronto (http://www.photobookcanada.com), using the same processes as wedding photo albums. Featuring a striking panoramic hardcover, each book is 8.5 by 11 inches in size, 5/8 inches thick, and weighs nearly 1 pound. There are 126 numbered pages printed in vivid colour on acid-free archival quality paper. Each book is hand-bound using a strong, durable side-stitch technique to ensure a lifetime of enjoyment.

Copies are available for CAD$100 (lowered price) plus shipping by emailing me at photos@loneleaf.ca. (Yes, these books are expensive to produce in small quantities.)

A portion of the proceeds from each copy will go towards carbon offset projects to help combat Global Climate Change due to greenhouse gas emissions. My goal is for each book to help eliminate approximately one ton per year of equivalent carbon dioxide emissions.

For a limited time, each copy will also include an 8 x 10 inch photograph from my Antarctica collection, plus a 30-minute audio-visual slideshow on CD/DVD. (Note: slideshow runs on Windows PC only, and generally requires a fast video card to run well. It is possible it will not run well or at all on some PCs, and thus it is offered as a bonus item with my book without any guarantees. It is my hope that it does run on your PC, so you too may enjoy this light-and-sound version of my book.)

Nature photos cannot show any evidence of human activity---people, buildings, equipment, vehicles, footprints, etc. The photos here are my favourite Nature shots from my Antarctic expedition.

I entered three of these photos in a Nature competition (#1, #12, and #13). In my Intermediate division, photo #13 received an Honourable Mention, scoring 22 points out of 30. I'm thrilled that photo #1 won First Place in my Intermediate Division, scoring 27 out of 30, and went on to win Best Print overall! :) Many thanks to all who left compliments and suggested which photos to enter into the competition.

Thanks! :)

Humanity has had a short but turbulent history in Antarctica, full of exploration, exploitation, and most recently, a quest for understanding.

Unlike my favourite Nature photos, which do not contain any human presence, the photos here all feature signs of human activity in Antarctica, past or present.
