Many years ago I studied architecture and our professors always encouraged students to always carry a sketch book to document their experiences especially when travelling to new places. The practice stuck with me and I always enjoy sketching and diagramming the places I visit in a graphic journal to remind me of the memorable highlights and capture logistics planning and preparation before the trip and the unique places/people encountered along the journey. These pictures are my field notes during the expedition to the South Pole. I’ve captured the same images for each of the highest mountain summits I’ve climbed on six continents which I intend to publish in a book in 2025.
I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I enjoyed drawing them.
