Antarctic exhibition not to be missed

A reminder that an exhibition of photographs opening at Crean's Place this evening, Friday, will showcase just how far a determined amateur photographer is prepared to go in his craft, writes Brian Byrne.

The photographs by Tom Byrne are from a trip to Antarctica and provide an extraordinary record of the beauty, splendour, and vast emptiness of one of the most remote places on earth.

The display will feature abandoned whaling stations, the Antarctic wildlife, and amazing scenery.

Tom Byrne developed his interest in photography and wildlife from an early age while fishing the rivers and lakes of Ireland with his father. His love of nature and photography has brought him to many places across Europe, Asia, Canada and South America.

His trip to Antarctica was inspired by the adventures of the explorers Shackleton and Tom Crean, and the venue is an apt location for this not to be missed exhibition.

The official opening will be at 7pm and there will be some light refreshments. Save the date to see some amazing photographs from one of the most amazing places on the planet. All proceeds from sales of the photographs will be donated to cancer research.
