Update #9 - We have a book! March 19, 2022

It has been a very long slog - months of checking every detail, of correcting spelling and grammar, of typesetting and copyediting, back and forth from editor to publisher to team member and back to editor - and the last phase was to place the selected images within the text. 

We had a large pool of amazing images taken by the 11 members of the expedition team to choose from - each set of images reflecting the different experience and perspective of the individual to create a whole picture story of the expedition. It was a joy to be able to select the images that best portrayed not just the scenes of the expedition but how it had felt too. 

Once the images were chosen we then had to ensure we could find a version of the image file that had the right resolution to be printed in the book, that the light levels and colours in the image would be reproduced perfectly, the straightening of the odd horizon or cropping to do, writing captions for each image and ensuring that the person who took each image was properly identified and credited.

It has been a lot to do but the result is stunning - a collection of emotive and descriptive images to accompany the inspiring text gathered from the team. We can't wait to share it with you and we are sure you are going to love it as much as we do!

With very best wishes,

Felicity and The Women's Euro-Arabian North Pole Expedition
