Thijs Heslenfeld’s “Cold - Sailing to Antarctica” is a truly unique book here at Stanfords, a personal journey recorded in both photography and print that will captivate and inspire.

Antarctica is ‘hot’. Thousands of tourists visit the continent every year, but while most of them to so on board large, comfortable cruise ships. Thijs Heslenfeld wanted true adventure. He boarded the Dutch barque Europa- not for a holiday, but for a journey of discovery to some of the loneliest, coldest and most beautiful places on earth.

As Thijs says himself:

“This book is about places where life is as pure as it gets. The photographs tell a story about beauty and decay, about fear and hope, about black and white. They are, after all, about life.”

As well as the sumptuous photos, the Ship’s logbook is also recreated, as written by the Europa’s captain, Klaas Gaastra.
