From the Bridge: Squeezing Through

From the Bridge:  Squeezing Through
Christmas Day, and with the weather again worsening in the afternoon it was a matter of heading to some clear sea. That involved the ship squeezing slowly and carefully between an area of thick old sea ice and a large tabular iceberg (see note for earlier shot, showing the quite narrow gap). Needless to say, this was somewhat suspenseful and little was being said on the ship's bridge, where this was taken!

Many thanks, everyone, for your kind comments and faves on this shot. You can all join me in breathing again now. :) I should mention that the ship had its regular Captain plus a special "Ice Captain" - as both were on duty, it was in the best of hands.

Looks a tad worrying...it's not like you could jump overboard and swim ashore if it all went wrong! Exciting shot, and what an experience!

Looks very dramatic and more than a bit scary.

It was a rather tight corner, but at this stage we had developed quite a degree of confidence that we were in good hands.

As I've mentioned above, it was rather tight - but we were moving very cautiously indeed.
