[Photo preview] Antarctica Part 2 - Drake Passage and the first two landings

[karohemd]

From "Drake Lake" (it was so calm) to King George Island and Greenwich Island. Some of the photos are linked to a map from the relevant flickr page (click on a big pic). Too bad the resolution isn't very good for Antarctica. Not even Google Earth has decent satellite images.

 
 
 

This is one of my favourite shots as I actually had a little time for composition

Lovely photos - can't seem to get the links from them to work, but they'rre very good.

I think that distant boom was the sound of Robin exploding for penguin overload.

Thanks!

That's odd, all the full sized photos should lead to the relevant photo page on flickr. According to flickr's T&C you even *have to* use the link if you post flickr photos anywhere else.

I was wondering why I haven't heard from him since I sent the link...

My favourite pic is actually the seal; heh, closely followed by the running penguin!

Adelies are the funniest.
I need to come round at one point and show you the vids I took at the last landing (photos to come). I could have spent the whole day sitting on that rock and watching their antics.
I'll probably cut a few of the best scenes into short clips and upload them to photobucket but they won't be as big.
