About Andrew:
Andrew Harpster is a seasoned mariner and accomplished professional photographer. With over fifteen years of maritime experience, Andrew has captained or crewed more than 80 boats and ships worldwide. His career began right here in the Kenai Fjords in 2007 as a deckhand in Seward Harbor, and in 2014 he earned his captain’s license. Since then, he has captained whale-watching boats in Seward, Southeast Alaska, the Salish Sea in Washington State, and on Maui.
Andrew also guides polar expedition cruise ships in Antarctica, South Georgia, Arctic Canada, Svalbard, and Greenland. His deep connection to these remote and breathtaking environments is reflected in his photography, which captures the raw beauty and majestic landscapes of these awe-inspiring places. Andrew’s work is characterized by vivid detail, bringing to life the unique characteristics of the animals he encounters and the stunning environments they inhabit.
In addition to his maritime and photographic pursuits, Andrew and his wife Jacqueline run Expeditions Northwest, a small-group glacier, wildlife, and photo tours company.
