Back To Antarctica

I am so excited.  I am going back to Antarctica not one but twice in the next few months.  My first journey is November 6th and will be my last trip across the Drake Passage on a  boat.    The Drake can be very nasty.  I’m talking 40 foot waves, rocking and pitching boat for 2 days.  I am not bothered by this (luckily( but others don’t find it so pleasant.  Once you get there though it gets very good as far as photography goes.  After these two trips I’ll have a ton of images to use n a couple of books I am planning for Antarctica.  This image was made in the iceberg graveyard.  This is a rather large bay where icebergs drift in and become grounded. Over time water and melting them creates these amazing looking icebergs.  This shot shows a Leopard Seal who just finished a meal.  He didn’t give us even a head raise as we cruised by in our Zodiac.
