MHF 2009-10 Video Blogs

During the 2009-10 Expedition I shot a series of vlogs capturing some of the main events of the season – admixed with some light polar humour. The vlog was commissioned and sponsored by Telstra International and is available on their website as well as via the MHF vimeo channel.

A complete edition is shown here. Durations vary from 4mins to nearly 12 mins as we established that transmission by BGAN was both practical and reasonably cost-effective from the Sørensen Base.
