Jason Edwards: From Icebergs to Iguanas

Species Unite

“I know that one day for me in Antarctica, one morning for me in Antarctica is a dream for someone who will never get there. Because it's hard to get to. So, I don't waste those opportunities. I don't sit there and go, ‘I'm in Antarctica again.’ No, my brain will not go to that space because I know that people would kill [to be there].

I am the portal sometimes, through which some people will experience different parts of the world.” Jason Edwards

Jason Edwards is an award-winning photographer, TV host, and conservationist.
