Not that I am aware of. Wiki claims Germans climbed the taller of Una Peaks, pretty similar...

A bit of both. I got to leave the ship once or twice a day, depending on where we were. See my response to u/StuckInLazlosBasemen (here) for more. We visited only one active base (Port Lockroy). A lot of transit by zodiacs...

Best way is of course having already been on several so you have expertise. That's not me! I would love to go again...

We were on a small ship, so I spent a lot of time outside taking photos as things went by. There were a fair number of other ships, and there was a well-enforced limit on how many people could be on land at a time, so there was a fair amount of waiting for our turn. I spent some of that waiting time talking to the people who had been there before or who had other special knowledge (there was a penguin specialist, an astrophysicist, an geologist, a record holding kayaker, etc., not to mention some impressive photographers). Sometimes we didn't land at all, but toured the shoreline (or icebergs) in a zodiac. I really enjoyed that the wildlife was unafraid, so while we didn't walk right up to them (as we had been instructed about), they sometimes came right up to us.

Awesome! (feel free to post some of them)

Awesome! Such an incredible place

On the way back by, it definitely was. While I took this photo, the high winds distracted me

It made the trip both more wonderful and more exhausting - there was always something to see, almost 24 hours a day.

I was incredibly lucky, and was invited to join a private expedition. Took a short leave of absence and went, because if you get the chance, go! I was especially lucky because we also visited Elephant Island, South Georgia Island, and West Point Island, before returning to civilization.

That's actually right next to the pictured formation (just to the left of this scene), and has been renamed "Una Peaks"

>Magnificently intimidating!

The entrance to the Lemaire Channel summed up nicely!

More specifically, midnight-ish sun on False Cape Renard (the "true" cape is just to the left of this scene).

Maybe "Ahwahne" Valley? (wiki says that's what the Ahwahneechee called it)

When we went, some years ago, the only people we met were on bicycles, and they were doing thee whole thing in one day! Glad you had a great trip, bound to have provided many wonderful memories...

White Rim Road?

Magic, indeed! ...and thanks for the encouragement

Sadly, I failed to take a photo with better magnification than this one.

Thanks! I visited as part of a private expedition that I was so lucky to be invited to join. The photo was taken some time ago, but I've been learning how to use Lightroom (still no expert!), and so I'm going back to clean up my photos (correct white balance and exposure) and sharing some as I go through them.

Pretty tough grass, too. That rough water is from the high winds, and that's snow falling in the background, and this is mid-summer...
