THE LEMAIRE CHANNEL TOWARDS PLENEAU - MORNING January 3

We began our morning heading into the Lemaire Channel, which brought back many visual memories. I recalled those monumental black and white mountains from two years ago. I think it was even better this time - perhaps because I was more prepared to seek out what I had found before. There seemed to be more mist traveling through and over the peaks with sharp contrasts of coal blacks.

Also revisited the melange of ice and and the most exquisite turquoise icebergs below me.

Also present was a playful Minke whale who seemed to escort us all the way.

There was great deal of ice and thankfully we had a skillful Captain who successfully maneuvered us through the narrow passage

We then embarked on  zodiac rides around the surrounding icebergs. Again I was shooting non stop trying to capture the incredible play of color, light, texture, scale and magnitude all around us

There are so many images too present. More will have to wait for my website...
