the 2 chicks are super, as your art work in digestiv advertising is

Thank you, Akira, Bob and Thomas.

We spent several hours moving slowly through the brash ice (loose floating pieces of ice) of the Lemaire Channel. There were many opportunities for photographers and our painter.

[Anthony]

There was plenty of wildlife.

[Anthony]

Snow and ice, of course.

In late afternoon we went ashore to view some penguin rookeries.

Anthony  great work.  I am not even going to attempt picking favorites since varied images and am enjoying all.  Africa and Antarctica all in one place .

[Bent Hjarbo]

Nice
Keep them coming

Talk about calm waters, look at those reflections! This is still the bloody ocean, isn't it?

[Frank Fremerey]

2808 is my favourite so far... The plane is so vast and the white swimming islands so flat .... wow

[Frank Fremerey]

In the other pictures I like to see the cold rocks with ice around them. I felt Antarctica was all ice, now I see the rocks. I guess January is summertime there and the rocks cannot be seen in winter?

[Øivind Tøien]

Gorgeous images, keep them coming!

Anthony, fantastic series, thank you for sharing it

[Anthony]

Thanks, all, for your kind comments.

Carl, it was indeed an extremely calm day.  The Lemaire Channel is well protected and often peaceful.

Frank, yes, we were there in the height of summer.  There would be a lot more snow in winter and spring.  The location is about 65º S, so quite a long way from the South Pole.

What a series, Anthony! Thank you so much for sharing these magnificent and rarely seen images of the deep south.
I am thoroughly enjoying this thread!
