Join Eastway & Portelli in the Falklands - December 2024
King Penguins at Sunset, Falkland Islands. Photo by Scott Portelli. The Falkland Islands are usually the first or the last stop on the South Georgia / Antarctica circuit. Stays are usually only two or three days at best, yet there is so much to see and photograph that I've always felt a little short changed, especially if you're an avid wildlife photographer. With this in mind, Scott has invited me to lead a small group of five photographers on a two week exploration of the Falklands and its...
An ND5 Voyage on True North II
Video still from Michael Fletcher's Youtube video featuring True North II See it on Youtube here:https://youtu.be/LGmj6VTxzq4?si=Bqx43h4uQJ0HZGMe Many readers may remember ND5 - Ninety Degrees Five, a collaboration between Les Walking, Tony Hewitt, Christian Fletcher, Michael Fletcher and me. We've been a little quiet for the last few years, but our website (www.nd5.com.au) is still active and we're still active - just we haven't been doing a lot together.

The Tree Near Tolkien Rock
Tree in flooded Awatere River, Middlehurst, NZDJI Mavic Pro 2, f2.8 @ 1/120 second, ISO 100 As we continue to spend time on our passion, it surprises me how often you can find a new way of doing something - like photography.

Please be sure to book through us to get the most out of the photography component of your voyage!
There are already four keen photographers onboard with Peter, so now is the time to make your plans and book a berth so you can be sure of joining us!
The labyrinthine channels of the legendary Northwest Passage have enchanted explorers and adventurers for centuries. On our voyage, we’ll get a glimpse into the world that captivated early explorers such as Franklin, Amundsen and Larsen, by exploring a portion of the fabled Northwest Passage.
You’ll visit the final resting places of some of the legendary explorers who have ventured here and experience the same archipelago of islands and channels that make up Canada’s High Arctic region. Along the way, we hope to meet local indigenous people who call this remote wilderness home, and perhaps catch glimpses of the wildlife that inhabit the region: polar fox, bowhead whale, polar bear and the elusive narwhal.
You may encounter the variable sea ice that once prevented ships from traversing the Northwest Passage, adding a compelling element of adventure that is integral to any genuine expedition.
