For more than six months, Caryn B. Davis immersed herself in everything she could learn about Antarctica in preparation for an epic photo expedition in January 2020. In Part 1 of our Q&A with Davis, she offered advice on how to pack and what gear to bring.
To come full circle with her adventures, we recently caught up with Davis to find out how she and her gear fared during her long journey and under the intrepid conditions of the Great White Continent. For details about her experiences, and to see some photos and learn her strategy for successful wildlife pictures, read on in this second installment of our Q&A with Davis.

Jill Waterman: What were the dates of your Antarctic trip, and how did things go with all your baggage and photo gear while in transit?Caryn B. Davis: I left the U.S. on January 15 and returned on January 31. Whenever I travel, I usually only take one bag plus my camera bag, but this time I added a carry-on bag containing all my cold weather gear as a precaution in case my checked bag didn’t arrive when I did. Luckily, there were no issues with that.
I wish I had more time in Buenos Aires because it’s such a historically rich, vibrant city with amazing architecture. I did photograph the El Ateneo Grand Splendid, which was originally built as a theater in 1919 and was transformed into a bookstore in the early 2000s. It’s just beautiful, and what a great place to hang out and read books.
