The Deep South by Andris Apse takes readers on an unparalleled visual journey through some of the most breathtaking and untouched landscapes found in southern New Zealand. In this landmark publication, Apse, a world-renowned New Zealand photographer, presents his first new book in eight years, showcasing the wild, remote, and largely inaccessible regions from the rugged West Coast to the mystic Subantarctic islands, extending all the way to the frigid stretches of Antarctica.

With nearly 100 stunning photographs, Andris Apse captures the raw, moody splendour of these landscapes, highlighting his extraordinary eye for detail and unwavering patience to capture the perfect moment. Each image comes to life with precision, inviting readers to witness the serene yet powerful beauty of these natural sanctuaries.

The book opens with a charming and insightful introduction by Apse himself, where he shares his personal anecdotes and memorable moments spent in these wild terrains. Further enriching the visual feast, The Deep South includes lyrical essays by acclaimed writers Laurence Fearnley and Dr. Hinemoa Elder, who delve into the profound meaning that these wilderness places hold for them.

A particularly special inclusion is an essay gifted to Andris by his dear friend, the late Keri Hulme, providing an intimate Maori perspective on Te Rua o Te Moko/Fiordland. This unique contribution adds a rich cultural layer to the book, offering readers a deeper understanding of the significance of these landscapes.

Andris Apse's passion for wild, untamed wilderness places is evident throughout the book. He eloquently states, "As human beings living on a now crowded planet, we need to know that there are these nature and wildlife sanctuaries. Merely knowing they exist cleanses the soul but also reminds us of the damage we have done to our planet."

The Deep South is not just a collection of remarkable images but a profound reflection on the importance of preserving our natural world, an evocative tribute to the beauty and fragility of our planet's last wild places.
