Arctic Arc

DixieARC

Author:
Dixie Dansercoer
Description:
 The Arctic Arc was the first crossing of the Arctic Ocean over the North Pole to Greenland. Dixie Dansercoer and Alain Hubert left Cape Artichewsky, Siberia on 1 March 2007 - a date which coincided with the first day of the International Polar Year - and arrived 106 days later and over 2000 km further at the northernmost tip of Greenland. A unique feat and a proof of determination by a solid team that both polar explorers proved to be amidst the chaotic and broken up Arctic Ocean. Along their route they carried out measurements of the snow thickness in order to calibrate the prognoses of the shrinkage of the ice on the Arctic Ocean, a study mandated by the European Space Agency.

Antarctica 1897/1897 - 2007/2008
Dixie Dansercoer in the Footsteps of Adrien de Gerlache

antarctica2008

Description:
In late 2007, exactly 110 years after Adrien de Gerlache's famous voyage to the South Pole, Dixie Dansercoer and a team of enthusiastic polar explorers set off, following in de Gerlache's footsteps.
The In the Wake of the Belgica expedition followed Gerlache's original route step by step. For the crew of the Euronav Belgica, the Antarctic Peninsula was a feast for the eyes.
With this unique photo book you will go along on their voyage to the last unspoiled continent on earth.
A truly astonishing photographic oeuvre, the book testifies to the daring presence of humans on this inhospitable, icy continent. Laurent Dick's fascinating images play with its unbelievable light, reflected at times by the 14 million square kilometres of ice that cover Antarctica.
Veteran polar traveller and citizen of the world Dixie Dansercoer has made numerous pioneering expeditions and explorations to the polar regions since the 1980s. These challenges have fundamentally changed his outlook on life. Enthralled by the frozen elegance and inspiring beauty, this book is Dixie's testimony to his great passion for everything living in this apparently dead world. His earlier photo book (Ant)arctica was published by Davidsfonds/Leuven.
