Karen WINS Audubon!
Karen Blackwood, Eagle Eye Safaris co-owner and photography guide, has won the amateur category of the Audubon 2023 Photography Awards Contest, one of the most prestigious contests in North America!
“What an honor!” says Karen. “I love Antarctica, and I want to share it with everyone I meet. We decided to add Antarctica to our 2024 and 2025 itinerary at Eagle Eye Safaris. I want to teach people how to photograph wildlife and dramatic landscapes in the snow and ice. There are so many unique photographic opportunities everywhere you look. We’ll take good care of you during our intensive Wildlife Photography Workshop.”
Book your spot to join us in 2024 and 2025 in Antarctica and the Arctic now.
