Huw Lewis-Jones presents the photographs from Wally Herbert's 1968-69 crossing of the Arctic Ocean by dog sled — the last great journey of polar exploration. The images of ice, light, and endurance are extraordinary.

Huw Lewis-Jones's collection of fictional islands from literature, cartography, and mythology. Beautiful maps, wild stories, and a reminder that the impulse to imagine places that don't exist is as old as the impulse to explore places that do.

The 1953 expedition in photographs — the images that defined Everest in the public imagination. Hillary, Tenzing, the South Col, and the summit ridge as they looked when no one had been there before.

Photographs from the 1958 Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition — the crossing Shackleton died trying to complete. Hillary drove tractors to the South Pole; Fuchs crossed the continent. The images of ice and machinery are surreal.
