Pat Morrow

Pat’s photographic career took off when he scaled Mount Everest in 1982 as the photographer for Canada’s first and widely publicized expedition to that mountain. He continued a global climbing spree to the highest peak on every continent, becoming the first to complete the climber’s version of the Seven Summits (which includes Irian Jaya’s Carstensz Pyramid) in 1986. His book, "Beyond Everest: Quest for the Seven Summits", documents that hallmark adventure. 

In recognition of these achievements, he received the Order of Canada in 1988 and the Summit of Excellence at the 1990 Banff Mountain Film Festival. Pat and his wife Baiba travelled the world for three decades on adventure assignments for publishers and broadcasters, and some of the work you see here represents those years on the road. Also, some videos created by friend and mentor Art Twomey who kindled Pat's interest in habitat conservation worldwide. Enjoy!
