Deborah Shapiro



Deborah Shapiro is an American born explorer and photographer who, together with with her husband, veteran Swedish sailor and explorer, Rolf Bjelke, has made three voyages to the polar regions from their home harbor in Sweden.

In the 1980s and 90s the couple completed two round-trips to Antarctica in their 40 foot sailboat, Northern Light, including one unassisted winter-over. From 2005 to 2008 they circumnavigated Antarctica, in four consecutive summers, visiting sub-Antarctic islands and the Antarctic Peninsula for a third time. Their combined voyages covered a distance of 243,000 miles.

They received the Blue Water Medal of the Cruising Club of America for their daring 33,000 mile voyage from the Arctic to the Antarctic.

“When Esther and Joe - resolutely urban, nurtured by density, neurosis, and the Great Depression - discovered the woods, they never wanted to leave.”
