Antarctica has some of the most dramatic and raw landscapes I have ever seen

Incredibly grateful for another year in the books, quite possibly the most memorable

Antarctica never disappoints, especially when it comes to the ice.

I’ll be sharing more images this week from my most recent trip to the Antarctic.

My current home base, looking pretty as usual. Doing some last minute prep before leaving for Antarctica in a few hours.

This will be my fourth trip to The Great White Continent as Photographer in Residence on the G Expedition ship, and I’m absolutely excited.

\ You gotta swim
Through nights that won’t end
Swim for your families
Your lovers your sisters
And brothers and friends
You’ve gotta swim
Through wars without cause \

Jurassic Park

The roads are narrow and scary as hell but the views are worth it

It’s no surprise why people are so mesmerized by this town

A beach day in November. I’m not mad about that

| THE TOWN THAT IS DYING |

We got majorly lost driving to Civita last night, but it was totally worth it.

Civita only has 6 residents year round, no cars, and could possibly be the most charming place you ever visit. It is literally dying, so check it out before it’s gone.

This is the house where I once lived. I used to turn the corner after a long weekend of traveling, see those bright lights out front, and experience that wonderful feeling of being home.

Living here was one of the most formative chapters of my life because I learned how to be independent, it was the first time I experienced Europe, and it would set the tone for a lifetime of travel and photojournalistic exploration.

Florence still feels like home and I feel nostalgic being back here.

| LOVERS IN FLORENCE |

My brother and I spent the day exploring our old stomping ground, and I was reminded at nearly every turn why I fell in love with Florence to begin with.

Follow along as the #duefratellihernandez reunite and adventure across Italy🏃

“A still more glorious dawn awaits / not a sunrise, but a galaxy-rise / a morning filled with 400 billion suns / the rising of the milky way.”

- Carl Sagan

I woke up at 3 am, rode a bike alone into the pitch black Atacama Desert, and photographed the center of the Milky Way rise above me. It was something I’ve always wanted to do, and it was worth it.

I have no words to describe the feelings I felt being underneath all those stars.
