During my first Antarctic voyage
of 2009, I was able to see incredible formations of ice, some
were slowly creeping downhill as mighty glaciers, some were floating
works of art.
The Russian vessel Professor
Multanovskiy, an ice-hardened ship, plowing through brash
ice.
A penguin on a small iceberg.
Reflected sun, mountains &
ice. During my stay, the sun never fully set.
Iceberg buildup in a narrow
channel makes passage difficult.
This iceberg resembles some
beast, rising from the frigid waters.
Navigating around large icebergs.
A zodiac maneuvers towards shore
through the ice.
Abstract art created by melting
glacial ice.
Iceberg panorama.
Iceberg arch.
The vistas had incredible combinations
of blue and gray.
Another arched iceberg.
Penguins floating past.
A zodiac motoring away from
a precipitous glacier that could calve off any second.
