He now spends an inordinate amount of time on glaciers and volcanoes, undertaking photography and filmmaking assignments, climbing mountains and a whole load of other stuff in between. Huw is a fellow for the Royal Geographic Society and the Royal Astronomical Society as well as a presenter and film maker.
