Antarctica: A Preview

Postby Boomtown Rat » Sun May 06, 2007 2:43 am

Well, as some of you may remember, I made a trip to Antarctica back in December/January 2006/2007, here's a few photos.

Barrientos Island, in the South Shetlands at around 10 pm on the night of the second day of the actual cruise (we made great time across the Drake passage, so we had time for an extra landing).

I agree, I'd love to see more. Love that last pic with the ship & the icebergs :)

I'm not fussed how you post them, but I suppose if they all on a Flickr account then it would be easier for us to see them all in one place.

More, more, more I say!!

That looks like an amazing trip and great photos as well! Did your camera give any trouble in the cold?

Thanks for the comments everyone!

For the most part, not really.  The only problems we were warned about was that the cold might make your battery run out quicker, but I kept it in a warm pocket of my Expedition Jacket and charged it every night.

It don't get more exotic than that... and boy, did you get lucky with the weather!!  :o

Penguins... I dunno about penguins- I think they're up to something. Never turn your back on a penguin.   :D

As for the album choice: make a flickr album, but post a few more here.  ;D
