[Photo Preview] Last day in Antarctica - Brown Bluff, Antarctic Sound, Drake Passage

[karohemd]

Brown Bluff with its huge colony of Adelie penguins was the best of the landings. The penguins' antics were just hilarious to watch.

 
  

early in the morning (7:30ish)


Would you like ice wth your drink?




Reservoir Penguins


Yes, he ran onto a rock, pedalled in vain for a while and then had to get up and waddle around it. ;o)


Big chicks make nice footwarmers






Penguins on ice are hilarious




The gentoo chicks were quite big, too.


Going back to the ship








leopard seals






There are still a few photos to come from Argentina before I restart but that won't be before next week as I'll be busy every evening.

I love the little penguin flapping his arms :)
K in work feels very sorry for the poor stranded rock penguin

That blue sky -- you didn't retouch the photo or something? I adore the penguin on the rock. They're perfectly adapted to their environment, but they're still pretty stupid. How I envy you this trip.

Just some contrast/brightness adjustment but nothing major, it was really that blue.

Some amazing images there.

Particularly the icebergs. I love anything involving the sea and icebergs! Nature at it's most beautiful and extreme.

You make me wish I was a photographer, and that I was in Antarctica! :(
