Pictures from Antarctica

January 15, 2010

Antarctica is beautiful and pristine — which also means the internet is rather sketchy and hence the reason it has been rather difficult to post. Here are a few picutres we have taken.

Picture taken from our zodiac. The ship is surrounded by ice bergs. We had to travel 2 miles by zodiac to reach Devil Island

 

Thousands of penguins taking in the view of the ice field

 

Two Penguins singing to each other

Beautiful blue iceberg -- about the size of the ship

 

Devil Island's Summit -- about 850 feet above our ship
