In 2017 I began a transit down the Amazon River. This was onboard the Queen Victoria,  The largest vessel ever to fully transit. While we transitted I was able to capture the beauty and vast thickness of the Amazon rainforest as well as venturing into the rainforest myself once we reached our furthest port down the Amazon which was Manaus.
