King penguin colony, the largest on South Georgia, at St. Andrews Bay	Morning sunlight breaks through the gloom in the Neumayer Channel	"Mr. DeMille . . . ?"
	Gentoos hitch a ride
King penguins on the march	Male elephant seals battle before an audience of king penguins	"Oooh, I like this! How much?"
Teenage angst	On "fast ice."	Weddell seal vocalizing while dreaming ...
Gentoos on land and sea ...	Wandering (snowy) albatross (juvenile)	Gentoos scamper along the shoreline ...

In the footsteps of Shackleton, Stromness in sight ...

"Who's your photographer?"	"It's my rock! You got a problem with that?"	King penguins gravitate to lenses.
	100,000 Kings
Look closely at this one ...	"Right flank, advance... close the gap and we'll have them surrounded!"	Wandering (snowy) albatross, still showing down, readying for first flight.
"Global warming ... tell me about it!"	Beachmaster with harem	"Carbon fiber! It's more expensive, but you can taste the difference."
Who says there are no polar bears in the Antarctic?	Captain Carl Larsen and his crew survived the winter of 1902-03 here thanks to 1100 ancestors of this Adelie penguin.	The blue color of this “bergy bit” shows that it is “old ice,” with most of the salt leached out.
Approaching Neko Harbour	Baily Head	Chinstrap penguins own this beach.
	Almirante Brown, Argentinian base.	Almirante Brown, Argentinian base.

Ah, now I see why you chose Antarctica. Especially in a world of plastic and trash, its beauty is sublime. Your landscapes of horizontal elements and zigzags make me wish for a print or two. By the way, some of your captions are a hoot.

Excellent work – [vote!] and thanks for posting. I think presentation would be further improved if the thumbs were not dimmed in the gallery view. :)

A great sense of space and composition. The figure placements in the panorama shots are expuisite. She writes, she teaches, and she makes grand photographs! What next can we expect from this sensitive artist?

Wonderful memories and pictures. You captured our trip beautifully. After the weather we've all experienced since we've returned - rain, snow, ice and cold the Antarctic weather was a breeze.

Jean, Great pictures! Was the wildlife the highlight of your trip? Reminds me of my inside passage trip to Alaska. The Chicago winter should be a breeze after this trip!
