The capital of Tierra del Fuego, Ushuaia is both mystical and inhospitable due to severe climate conditions. Surrounded by soaring dramatic mountains, this city is the gateway to Darwin’s passage through the Beagle Channel onward to Chile and Antarctica; strikingly picturesque.

Glimpses through the trees of this 250km (97sq mi) ice formation captivate the heart. A small boat takes you across the icy sea to the start of a mesmerising journey where crampons are strapped on for the controlled trek on top of this glacier. In driving rain, icy hues change as sporadic as the random [...]

The bleakness of the southern most tip of the South American continent is a stunning region, which on this day the heavy rain paused momentarily to reveal an ethereal-like painting. The autumnal hues heightened the dramatic backdrop of the snow-capped mountains, which have existed well before the Yagan people.

Glacier Bay in Alaska is accessible by private boat and cruise ships. The access daily is limited but when you arrive if your lucky on a clear day it is so beautiful. The Margerie glacier is 21 miles long and with global warming concerns is shrinking every minute. I was accompanied with my whole family [...]

Portage Glacier sits about a hours drive south of Anchorage, Alaska. The melting of Portage Glacier created this lake (known as Portage Lake) . This image was taken a few minutes before sunrise to capture the reflections on the mountains on the lake. Icebergs (in the distance in this image) vary in size and are [...]

While most countries in the west, or even now in the east are much more conscious of how rampant containerization of cities can play havoc on human minds, it is also true that we still need nature [...]

This photo was taken from the Parks Highway, the only highway for travel between Anchorage and Fairbanks, Alaska. Denali National Park sits near the halfway point between the 2 cities and is about a 4-5 hr drive from Anchorage. At 20,320 feet, Mt McKinley is the tallest mountain in North America and towers above the [...]

Before moving to Alaska, the coldest temperature I had experienced was 7 degrees F. Planning to experience the great outdoors but not wanting to become front page news, I decided to take a winter survival course. The course involved 3-4 overnight trips in January-March , spending the night in self built shelters from available materials [...]

I captured this incredible sunset from an equally incredible location: Pic Malawi, a steep mountain commanding an awesome view over the peninsula upon which the city of Nouméa resides in New Caledonia. After a steep ascent struggling to keep up with a French Alps native, the sun began to merge with the sea as golden [...]

This is Rohtang pass, Manali, Himachal pradesh. The beautiful hills and the dramatic clouds here will give you an excellent opportunity for landscape photography. I took this shot in my last tour in 2008. After a hectic journey we reached there and found the bright and fresh weather. The zig zag roads give the valley [...]
