Why am I eager for the Edge of World?

In the past, the thirst for knowledge of new lands led me first through Central Asia. On the mountains of the Tien Shan, along its rivers, towns and deserts. The Himalayas, Tibetan religion and culture, seen over the past four years, have become a real discovery. Cultural shock experienced from Europe. Everything was interesting. So it was in the Alps, the Pyrenees, in Sardinia. Everywhere recorded her impression of work on the nature in the drawing or watercolor. Since my childhood, I dreamed of becoming an oceanologist. They say that thoughts attract events to your life. It so happened that it became possible to work for seven months in the North Seas, the Atlantic and Southern Oceans, the Falkland Islands and the South Georgia Islands, and the Antarctic Peninsula from October 2002 to May 2003 on the Akademik Ioffe ship. Self-confidence was born in a collision with the elements and the animal world. Sometimes in seconds, in different weather conditions, often on the run, you had to sketch and photograph icebergs, penguins, whales. The nature of the researcher led to the study in drawing and painting of the nature of ice, icebergs, natural relief, animal habits. The study of color is the peak of the knowledge of hard-to-reach places on Earth. Therefore, the dream of the Arctic "unknown, tempting and tender as a bride" - from the words of the polar explorer Victor, originated in the plans for life and was realized in 2014.
