Photography at its most daring

Photographers who have worked so close to volcanoes that their clothes started to burn, come within stroking distance of tigers in the wild, or dived under the sea ice freezing cold water have joined forces for an exhibition, billed as displaying images from the harshest places on Earth.

Polar bears and seals were captured on camera by a photographer who grew up in the Arctic and trained as a marine biologist. He dives under the sea ice to swim with his subjects, once offending a leopard seal by refusing the penguin she tried to feed him with. Another exhibitor has recorded not only tigers but also chimpanzees that had never before encountered human beings. The volcano enthusiasts work in fireproof suits, always at risk of becoming so transfixed by the beauty of the eruptions that they venture too close. There are invisible pockets of gas as well as flames, all of which contribute to the deadly perils of being an extreme photographer.
