Who would have thought that my beard, of all things, would get me in front of the camera? I am invited to the Faroe Islands in the North Atlantic to shoot an public relations film for an eco-energy provider. On board, of course, my camera.

Making Of: Screening the results. This time, the umbrella protects the sun's rays, otherwise you would see nothing on the display.

Moonrise at 11:30 p.m-, which feels much more like a sunset. Rarely have I seen anything more fascinating. I don't have a tripod with me and have to shoot with my hands with a Supertele. Not an easy task, the picture is blurred. Anyway, I don't want to withhold this moment.

Expedition to the largest cave in the world

Son Doong in Vietnam

Expedition to the largest cave in the world

30 Apr 2018 | All, Expeditions, Publications, TERRA, Vietnam | Est. reading time: 9 min.

To the center of the earth! The most spectacular trip I’ve ever done: the Son Doong cave expedition in Vietnam. First, it’s through leech-infested jungle. Then, abseiling down into the cave, over sharp rocks, through underground lakes, gigantic shafts. Absolutely breathtaking!
