‘Call of the White: taking the world to the south pole‘ by Felicity Aston is her account of an incredible personal and professional journey which I was fortunate to be apart of as expedition photographer and filmmaker.

The book is published on 7th March 2011 and features my photos of the expedition which I shot with Felicity in Norway, New Zealand, Chile and Antarctica  - what an amazing opportunity!

Felicity will be giving a talk about the expedition as well as answering questions and signing books at the launch at Waterstone’s Tunbridge Wells on Tuesday 15th March at 7pm. Come along to meet Felicity for a glass of wine and an inspiring evening!

A bit of background: at the end of 2009 Felicity Aston led the Kaspersky Lab Commonwealth Antarctic Expedition, a multi-national 8-woman team from Ghana, Jamaica, India, New Zealand, Singapore, Brunei Darussalam, Cyprus and the UK who skied more than 900km from the coast of Antarctica to the South Pole.

Most of the women were either the first person or the first woman from their country to ski to the South Pole and yet they were not experienced explorers (some had never seen snow before joining the expedition) but ‘ordinary’ women who wanted to inspire others to follow their dreams or make a change for the better in their lives.

To celebrate the release of the book Felicity will be giving a number of talks about the expedition at free events across the country:
Tunbridge Wells – 15th March
Bristol – 23rd March
London – 20th April
London – 12th May
Harrogate – 18th May
Manchester – 19th May
Canterbury – 26th May
