A British fine art photographer and adventurer has etched his name into the history of photographic expeditions by setting a new record for completing the Cape to Cape journey, a 20,000km overland route from Norway to South Africa while capturing it all on camera.
Johns Balsdon led a team of 6 adventurers from Nordkapp, Norway – the most northerly point in Europe to Cape Agulhas, South Africa, the most southerly point in Africa in 28 days and 8 hours, shaving 5 hours off the previous record of 28 days and 13 hours set by a Canadian duo 42 years earlier.
