Industry Recognition
Crux Expeditions and Into The Extremes: The Glacier Odyssey Receive a Telly Aware Award
We are proud to share that Into The Extremes: The Glacier Odyssey has received a prestigious Telly Aware Award — a recognition that celebrates storytelling with purpose, environmental awareness, and global impact.
For us at Crux Expeditions, this project was much more than a production. We participated very actively from the beginning: helping scout and access remote locations, supporting the logistics in Patagonia and Antarctica, and sharing these extraordinary landscapes with our extended family, friends, and collaborators. Evelyn from Crux Expeditions was also part of the cast, representing our deep personal connection to the journey and the places featured in the film.
One of the most meaningful aspects of this expedition was welcoming many talented Chinese participants who, for the first time in their lives, experienced Antarctica and Patagonia. Witnessing their connection with these wild environments reminded us how powerful exploration can be when it creates understanding, respect, and responsibility toward nature.
The Telly Aware Award not only recognizes creative excellence, but also highlights the importance of protecting and truly understanding the lands we explore. At Crux Expeditions, we believe that visiting remote places should have a deeper purpose than tourism alone. Expeditions can inspire education, scientific curiosity, conservation, and long-term awareness for future generations.
These landscapes are among the most fragile and important ecosystems on Earth. The more we learn about them, the more conscious we become about how humanity interacts with them — and how exploration can contribute positively to their preservation.
We are honored to have been part of this incredible project and grateful to everyone who helped make this journey possible.
Adventure: Let's Talk Evelyn - Shifter.media Jan 22, 2026 — Evelyn Salinas runs Crux Expeditions, and is my Patagonia workshop partner. She is curious, dedicated, connected.
There are places on Earth that still feel untouched — vast, silent, and impossible to fully describe until you stand there yourself. Patagonia is one of them.
Last season, we ventured deep into the remote southern corners of Patagonia alongside photographer, storyteller, and longtime adventurer Daniel Milnor. Joined by friends from the Fujifilm world, we spent more than 15 days exploring wild landscapes, sharing meals, chasing weather, and discovering what happens when creative people travel far beyond the ordinary.
What began as an expedition became something much more meaningful: a collaboration of vision, photography, exploration, and human connection.
After returning home, Daniel wrote about his experience traveling with Crux and Evelyn — reflecting on the landscapes, the remoteness, the people, and the spirit of the journey. His words captured exactly why we travel: not simply to see places, but to experience them deeply.
This expedition also inspired something new.
In January 2027, Crux and Evelyn will host an intimate Patagonia photography workshop journey designed for travelers, photographers, and storytellers who want to experience the far south in a truly immersive way.
Together, we will explore remote Patagonia through photography, conversation, field practice, and shared adventure — creating space not only to improve creatively, but to reconnect with the natural world.

Sustainability
We believe that travel should be enriching, not just for you, but for the destinations you explore. That's why sustainability is a core value for us. From the trips we plan, to the transportation and accommodation we recommend, we want to make sure that local communities are supported and the Earth we travel is taken care of.
And to make sure we’re making an impact, we're also dedicated to giving back. Years of intentional and “accidental” fires, negative regulations, and ignorance have endangered the ecosystem of Patagonia. To push back and lend nature a hand, we’ve launched the Stone Leaf Project, dedicated to reforestation and rewilding of the areas we travel. Involving the community, restoring the greenery, and allowing nature to take care of itself again are the goals we’re pushing for. And you can be a part of this! By choosing to travel sustainably with us, you're not just creating memories, you're helping protect the places you love to visit for generations to come.
