Photos from the trip


This is Elephant Island. The weather and cloud formations were wonderful. It astonishes us that anyone survived on this desolate place - much less that they did it for 4 months!









This is classic Cape Horn as we rounded it. We have more photos that show the Chilean station and the memorial and whatnot but this is the Horn as seen at the end of the Americas.









This is Glacial Ice in the Neumeyer Channel off the Antarctic Peninsula. This glacier is actively calving as I shot the photo. The blue is real - not the result of weird light or filters. They really are blue and not white.











This is an iceberg landscape from the Bransfield Strait between the Antarctic mainland and the South Shetland islands. Staggeringly beautiful!
