"I went to Antarctica."

Wang Buliu is a civil servant, outdoor enthusiast.

In 2014, I achieved an important goal in my life, which is when I went to Antarctica, the end of the world and the farthest place on earth.

When I first saw the Antarctic continent, out of all expectation, I feel quite an inner peace, as if I was just destined to go for the date.

Nothing can stop my love for the world. Nature made me feel humble after I walked a long way and saw a lot of things along the way. I hold great reverence towards nature.

I hope to go to the Arctic in 2015. In July or August, I plan to take a boat from the Longyearbyen, a city in northeast Norway, go all the way to the north and land on some small islands. My final destination is around 81 degrees north latitude. Maybe that will not be the right time to see the Aurora Borealis during my trip, but I really hope I can take some pictures of polar bears, walruses and other animals. I can perhaps shoot the polar bears hunting if I’m lucky. It is pity that I didn’t get pictures a humpback whale leaping out of the water in Antarctica, so I hope I can make up for it in the Arctic.
