Iceberg at Night Off the North-West Antarctica Peninsula. From the deck of the Hurtigruten MS Fram on New Year’s Eve. You want to stay clear of the icebergs at night.

Snowy Sheathbill and Chinstrap Penguin Going Different Directions on Elephant Island. This was at the desolate beach on Point Wild where Ernest Shackleton’s crew survived for 4 months in 1916 while Shackleton managed to sail to South Georgia and ultimately assure their rescue. I assume that the Sheathbill’s and the Penguins would have been on the menu for the sailors during this time. Image taken with a Leica T camera and 18-56 mm lens (ISO 100, 56 mm, f/16, 1/500 sec). Raw image processed with Capture One Pro, Focus Magic, and Photoshop CC.

Image taken with a Leica T camera and 18-56 mm lens (ISO 100, 56 mm, f/16, 1/400 sec). Raw image processed with Capture One Pro 8, Focus Magic, and Photoshop CC 2014.
