On 11th October 2018, Merlin Hetherington and Alex McMaster, undergraduate students from the University of St. Andrews set off on their epic 8 month, 10,000km journey by tandem bike from Cairo to Cape town. Their mission? To distribute and train health workers in using the Arclight device, a robust, compact solar powered opthalmoscope and otoscope, in a step towards tackling preventable causes blindness and deafness. They are riding unsupported through the remote and challenging environments of the Sahara Desert, Ethiopian Highlands and the plains of the Serengeti.

For more information about their incredible project, visit http://www.arclight-tandemafrica.com/

To donate and support them to provide more Arclight devices and deliver more free training to health care workers, visit their fundraising page.

You can also follow their progress on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

With the Northern Hemisphere currently experiencing record-breaking summer temperatures, our colleagues working in the depths of a dark, bitterly cold Antarctic winter seem even further away.

June 2016 saw an incredible synergistic feat of human engineering, logistics and sheer bravery when an unwell patient was evacuated by a propeller-driven Twin Otter aircraft from the remote US Amundsen-Scott Station at the South Pole. Planes have only landed there twice in the last 60 years, but neither previous mission occurred so deep into winter.

Dr Tom Everett, was working at the British Antarctic Survey Medical Unit at the time. In his report on antarcticreport.com, he gives us a fascinating glimpse into the challenges of flight in such extreme conditions, and how the team behind the medevac planned and rallied together to overcome them.

Winner: Tom Everett

Winter Medevac to South Pole.

2016 in Antarctica saw two Twin Otter aircraft and their respective crews achieve success in an international rescue effort with the medevac of two patients from South Pole at midwinter. The photo shows Medevac and Search and Rescue planes on their stopover at Rothera Research Station. Preparing in the darkness of Antarctic winter the crew await a weather window to make the 2000km flight on to South Pole. They will face outside air temperatures of -60 degrees Celsius, altitude exposure on the South Pole plateau and no sunlight for the duration of the Medevac.

Krystle’s Comments / I chose this as my winner as I wanted to see an image that could interpret the entry theme the strongest. The combination of the surreal beautiful landscape with the medevac planes showcasing the job at hand. It feels like a peaceful moment in transition as the rich colours compliment the atmosphere.

Runner Up: Zoe Burton

Spitsbergen, Arctic Svalbard.

Supporting young explorers on a 100 mile pulk adventure: some of them had never pitched a tent before joining this expedition.

Krystle’s Comments / The layers within the composition are striking and add depth to the frozen landscape. The moment of the people climbing up really showcases the hard work and difficulty of working in such an extreme environment. Great moment captured!

Highly Commended: David Hall

Chachakumani, Bolivian Andes.

Researchers take a well-earned break to watch the sunset at Advanced Base Camp.

Krystle’s Comments / Wonderfully composed and great timing to capturing the subtle moment of taking in nature’s beauty.

Highly Commended: Chris Parry

Gobi Desert Ultramarathon.

The image was taken while covering a 400km in China for Exile Medics. The shear variation in scenery made the runners’ achievements even more impressive – there was snow, high winds, searing temperatures, mountains, ravines and then near one of my checkpoints was this bizarre landscape of interlocking valleys which looked like a mountain range taken from an airplane when in fact I had only climbed up the nearest hill for 10 minutes max. For scale the little black dots are tumbleweed sized bushes rather than trees!

Krystle’s Comments / The composition and aerial take of the landscape really showcases the harsh environment the event is taking place in.

Highly Commended: Sven Christjar Skaiaa

Fuel, Patriot Hills, Antarctica, 2009.

Working as a doctor in Antarctica involves a multitude of tasks not commonly connected to patient care. Here, loading fuel barrels in a snow drift.

Krystle’s Comments / The details can so easily be overlooked but this image is a great reminder to the precarious positions that we find ourselves in when working in the field in remote and extreme circumstances.

The winner receives a Remote Medical International First Aid Kit courtesy of the Institute of Remote Healthcare and a Mountain Equipment Helium 3.8 sleeping mat from Adventure Medic. The first runner-up also receives also a Mountain Equipment Helium 3.8 sleeping mat.

Cycling the length of the Andes from the southernmost tip of Patagonia to the northern edge of Venezuala. Aiming high: nine thousand pounds for nine thousand miles. You may remember reading about the start of Reza and Laura’s monumental charity cycle for Lifebox back in March. We’ve been keeping up with their progress, and over the past month or so they’ve cycled through some of the remotest regions in the continent. From weeks traversing the Atacama, the driest non-polar desert on Earth, to cycling over mountains and enduring snow storms at 5000m on the Bolivian altiplano… it looks like it’s been wild. Here are some stunning photos documenting the last few legs of their journey through South America’s stark and beautiful landscapes.

Visit Lifebox to read about their aims to bring a safer approach to surgery worldwide, providing education, training, support and equipment to resource-poor countries across the map.

To read more about Laura and Reza’s attempt to raise £9000 for Lifebox, please visit their site and consider donating some coins their way for a seriously good cause.
