Chinstraps, Half Moon Island - South Shetland Islands

These Chinstraps are on Half Moon Island in the South Shetland Islands. You can see the ground is tainted pink by their guano as their principle food is krill. Have a great day now wherever you are.

Albatross Across the Drake Passage.

Not quite in focus but this Wandering Albatross was such a sight I don't really mind.  It flew alongside the ship as we crossed the Drake Passage on our way to Antarctica. Some one once wrote " I have joined a higher cult of men becuase I have seen the albatross." I know exactly what he means. Have a great day now.

Antarctica

What a truly awesome place. You can't even begin to explain it to someone and the photographs no matter how good they are simply do not do it justice.
