The journey across the Drake Passage is an adventure in itself. The tour was 19 days in duration and, due to the significant distance between our point of departure in Ushuaia, at the very bottom of Argentina, several days at sea were required at each end of the tour. I was fortunate to co-run a special photography tour to Antarctica which included adventures in the Falkland Islands and South Georgia Island. I remember having trouble taking it all in and being very aware of my insignificance in such a surreal and monumental landscape. It’s an exhilarating experience being on an ice class cruise ship as it breaks through pack ice along the sublime Lemaire Channel. No wonder an Antarctica adventure is on top of the bucket list for many travelers. Tobias Friedrich has a lot of impressive underwater photography projects, so make sure to visit his website and Behance portfolio.Antarctica is vast and provides many opportunities for awe inspiring, jaw-dropping landscape photography.

For this, he put together aerial footage shot with a DJI Mavic Pro and underwater footage shot with a Canon 1DX Mark II in SEACAM housing.
Friedrich actually shot a short clip of the dive as well to bring us an even more comprehensive view of the project.
There’s no doubt that a lot of work must have gone through this series, from the planning and logistics, down to the actual shoot underwater.

The series shows Boetticher dwarfed by the massive chunks of icebergs, giving us an idea on just how much we don’t see from the surface. Freedive under the ice, with Anna von Boetticher, supported by Northern Explorers A/S, Tasiilaq, East Greenland, Atlantic Ocean, Arctic, Northpole, Icebergs.įriedrich captured a dramatic contrast from the white stillness of the frozen surface above, with the water taking on a hypnotic blue-green hue against the ice. Freedive under the ice, with Anna von Boetticher, supported by Northern Explorers A/S, Tasiilaq, East Greenland, Atlantic Ocean, Arctic, Northpole, Icebergs. That’s definitely cold alright, but not as cold as the outside temperature, which Friedrich said was minus 17 degree Celsius and up to minus 27 with the windchill factor. She dove in the minus three degree Celsius waters of East Greenland, deep into the surreal underwater world hidden from our sight. To help bring awareness to the scale of the icebergs - and what inspired the imagery behind the idiom above - Friedrich also brought freediver Anna von Boetticher into the picture. If you’re passionate about underwater photography, you’ll find this especially fascinating. In his hypnotic series titled Shades of Water – Ice, German underwater photographer Tobias Friedrich takes us to the frigid waters of Greenland to show us the otherworldly beauty that lies beneath the icebergs and the frozen surface. “Just the tip of the iceberg,” so a famous saying goes, and this featured series offers a glimpse of what underneath the all the ice exactly looks like.
