Antarctica Black and White

Serenity

Serenity is the quality of being peaceful and calm. We often times think of the harshness of the poles as being a land of constant turmoil. The peace and calm in the mornings and evenings rivaled that which you will see anywhere.

Fortuna

Fortuna Bay in South Georgia Island held majestic peaks with flowing glaciers and at their base 10s of thousands of King Penguins.

Lingering

With the currents mixing with winds and mixing with mountains you saw places where the clouds would linger and take on new forms.

Birds of a Feather

Seem to flock together. While Icebergs will take different forms, shapes, sizes, and yet still be grouped or come back together.

Behemoth

Behemoth is a beast from biblical times, and is a form of the primeval chaos-monster formed at the beginning of creation. Each of these behemoth's stand alone below the massive beasts of the mountains behind.

Castle

Surrounded by a moat. A freezing cold moat of ice and frigid seas shape the castle of the South.

Dynamic

Look and tell me what you see? Sculpted by water into dynamic forms that are open to our own interpretations.

Fractured

We seem to see the grace of the icebergs and overlook their very fractured nature of how they lose their size.

Guanaco

The towering Guanaco over the southernmost town in Argentina over the Beagle Channel.

Lingering 2.0

Each night as the light started to fade it would linger on far beyond the time you would have expected it to fade.

Nunatak

A nunatak (from Inuit nunataq) is the summit or ridge of a mountain that protrudes from an ice field or glacier that otherwise covers most of the mountain or ridge. They are also called glacial islands.

Petrel

The Petrel was built in Oslo in 1928 as a whaling vessel that has been decaying in place and so will be gone in a short time.

Scale

In the landscape we often times fail to show the scale of what we feel. As big peak towers over the still mighty iceberg you start to get a sense.

Sculpted

The logic of how something is sculpted is easy to absorb and conceptualize. The actual finished product defies logic and conceptualization.

Sentinel of the South

As reached the southernmost part of our journey we had a sentinel overseeing our transition back north.

Remnants

A small remnant of a time that has passed us by, the whaling era. These giant tanks that are surrendering to nature once housed immense quantities of whale oil.

The Lean

Defying gravity the lean of this iceberg did not signal impending doom or a catastrophe to come.

The Wander

Continually I found myself in Wonder, but also in a state of Wander. Mentally wandering out onto these expanses and towards these far away peaks and glaciers.

Towering

These floating fortresses signified a formidable mass of towering bulk among the waterways.

Wonder Light

The light. The light. The light. It would hold and bring about such new ways to see the landscape. Creating a scene of wonder almost anytime of day.

Light Catch

The mountains of Antarctica mixed with the ice and water provided and almost endless canvas to catch and display the light.

Massif

a principal mountain mass. : a block of the earth's crust bounded by faults or flexures and displaced as a unit without internal change.

Within

Just like in life, sometimes the most incredible beauty was when you looked past the obvious and within.

Dreamscape

I brought my imagination and my camera into this landscape and was able to bring my own dreams and thoughts to life as I saw fit.
