?Antarctica is surprising. It is full of life, vibrant colors and stunning scenery,? commented Norbert Wu, ?Though we won?t be diving on this trip, passengers will get a close look at the stunning sea life of the area through the images and experiences I was able to capture.?
?Our passengers will actually be able to step foot onto the Antarctic Peninsula, which is not something they can typically do on larger ships that mainly sail near the coast and do not stop,? commented Ric McCune, Vice President of
Clipper Cruise Line.?
Norbert Wu is also leading a trip February 23 - March 3, 2005 with
Jim and Anna Abernethy on the Shearwater to photograph sharks in the Bahamas.
He advertises this as a special trip to photograph Bull, Tiger, Silky, Great Hammerhead, and Reef sharks in the wild.
No cages are used.
Aren't Bull sharks particularly aggressive?? I wonder how they avoid camera shake!
Norbert Wu is the author and photographer of fifteen books on wildlife and photography. Exhibits of his work have been shown at the American Museum of Natural History,
the California Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of Sciences, and the National Museum of Wildlife Art. In addition to being named "Outstanding Photographer of the Year"
by the North American Nature Photographers Association, Wu was awarded the Antarctica Service Medal of the United States of America in 2000 "for his contributions to exploration and science in the U.S. Antarctic Program."
