South Georgia is home to glorious mountain ranges and the richest wildlife of the Antarctic, with vast populations of penguins, seals and birds. Photographer and adventurer Matthew tells his amazing tale of four years on the island working for the British Antarctic Survey: life on base, eccentric scientists, expedition ships of American tourists, visits by the Royal Navy, half marathons, sleeping on ice caps, reindeer eradication projects, and wildlife encounters. Above all, he talks about living on one of the most beautiful places on the planet.
