Blown Away!

Blown Away!
On Boxing Day we were in open sea near the coastline, with a full gale blowing. Drifting snow covered the Antarctic plateau creating the fuzzy effect in the background while, as we ran downwind, large waves dashed against a nearby tabular iceberg - seemingly unmoving like an island. And this was the time for us to depart The Big Ice for points northward. Definitely best viewed on black.

This is so spectacular and also a bit scary to watch these natural forces. I love ice but to be that near to this kind of scene...

I love all of this album, George. What a fantastic experience. Let's hope that the next time you visit, the icebergs will still be there. The latest news regarding global warning is most worrying.

Many thanks for your kind comment, Amelia. I share your concern re global warming, but the icebergs of East Antarctica will be there for a long while yet.
