Polar explorer Ben Saunders reveals his top five photography tips when out in extreme environments

Ben Saunders is a polar explorer. He became one of only three people in history to ski solo to the North Pole when he made the expedition in 2004. No one has done it since. He was 26 at the time, so the youngest to do the journey by more than 10 years.

More information on Ben can be found on the photographer’s website.
