Looking down and over the railing of our expedition ship into the rippled water of the bay. Reflections of the chiselled peaks can be seen in the water, decorated with scattered ice flowing through it.  The landscape is stunningly harsh, although it's beaty and warmth radiate all around  …or it could be that it's Valentines Day.

Antarctica Day, December 1, commemorates  the signing of the Antarctic Treaty in 1959.  The treaty sets forth strict guidelines to protect the very important ecosystem of the Antarctic Continent.  Today, China and Norway routinely ignore the treaty, scooping up tons, upon tons of Krill.  Krill is the building block of pretty much the entire food chain, shrimp and other crustations depend on it, as do penguins and whales.
