A winding road, with a yellow rail, snakes its way up through a chiselled landscape with sparse, green vegetation.  We’re heading up to the snow-capped peak, which is shrouded in white clouds.  Headed for a short stumble in thin air.

Warm and Threatening Sky

The warm glow of the morning sun softens the chiselled peaks on Adelaide Island. The you look skyward. #LoveAntarctica

A warm, morning glow over the snow-capped, chiselled peaks of Adelaide Island.  A bit of dark cloud to the left adds a little drama.  The seas is quite calm here of the southern tip of Adelaide Island, Antarctica.  At 67° South, we are below the Antarctic Circle, where very few expedition-style ships venture: This boat only makes 2 or three runs here per season. A few more degrees south and big ice becomes a real problem …not going there!

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.
