By some fortunate encounters and decisions, Adam Kerr found himself charting the seas of both the Antarctic and Arctic. This work was carried out first for the Falkland Island Government (now the British Antarctic Survey) and later for the Canadian Government.

To be marginalised and to be deviant were, in many cases, two sides of the same coin....
