Filming in the world's most extreme environments requires more than just a steady hand. In temperatures as low as -50 degrees, your body shuts down and your equipment freezes up. But it's worth it to witness and record the stunning beauty and epic struggle of life on the edge. Since 1991 when he spent 11 months filming the wildlife of Antarctica, Max Quinn has been the go-to filmmaker for documentaries such as Expedition Antarctica (2010), Hunting the Ice Whale (2013) and South America's Weirdest (2019). A Life of Extremes tells the stories and shares the stunning images from Quinn's 20 years of adventures in polar climates. Be it travelling 80 kilometres over crevassed ice to a lonely colony of Emperor penguins, or figuring out how to keep cameras warm in the coldest places on earth, Max Quinn has a story to tell about it. Natural history fans will be enthralled by the rich and layered stories, while film buffs will marvel at techniques required to keep the camera rolling when pushed to the absolute limit of endurance. Become inspired to leave the tourist trail behind with this unique book about what life is like behind the camera, beyond public transport and even human habitation. Learn about dog sled racing, the last great ice age, penguin colonies, and everything else that happens in the immensely beautiful landscapes where the temperature is permanently below freezing.

Space-Saving, Stylish, and Surprisingly Strong Closet Upgrade
Color: Black, Size: Pack of 100
I’ve been using these Amazon Basics slim velvet hangers, and they completely changed how organized my closet feels. The biggest difference is how much space they save. Because they’re so thin compared to regular plastic hangers, I was able to fit a lot more clothes in the same closet without it feeling crowded. The velvet coating is also a great feature. Clothes actually stay in place and don’t slip off, even lighter fabrics like tank tops or blouses. That alone makes getting dressed in the morning easier because I’m not constantly picking things up off the floor. They feel sturdy too. Even though they are slim, they hold heavier items like jackets and sweaters without bending or breaking. The shape helps keep clothes looking neat and prevents those annoying shoulder bumps that some hangers cause. I also like the clean black and silver look, it gives the closet a more uniform and organized appearance, which makes everything feel more put together. Overall, these hangers are a simple but very effective upgrade for any closet. They save space, keep clothes in place, and make everything look more organized without much effort.

Looks more organized than bulky plastic hangers and multiple colors
Color: Black/Rose Gold, Size: Pack of 100
Love these hangers! The cloth helps from shirts slipping off and holds them in place! Stylish and thin so doesn’t take up all space on rack either! I’ve changed all our hangers over to these! They are very durable and there’s no assembly obviously. I’ve had one break, but that was with a pair of jeans hanging on it and I yanked the jeans instead of pulling the hanger off and taking the jeans off the hanger so I would say they’re pretty durable. There’s a lot of overweight people here and so the jeans and certain items are pretty heavy. I’m able to hang my husband uniforms in sets on them pants and then the shirt over top. Love these hangers. However, customer service is unreachable and when order you may be waiting for months to receive them!

Overall, they’re a great way to display memories and decorate any space
Color: Black, Size: 11x17
Love these frames, They are really good quality and feel sturdy, not cheap at all. They were very easy to set up and insert my pictures, which I really appreciate. The size is perfect for posters or photos, and they make everything look much more professional and elegant on the wall. I also like how they fit well with any home decor style
