Taken as the clouds were clearing, and the rain stopped enough to see the cliffs clearly.

It's being displayed just fine for me, but I guess you're not alone in having trouble.

My browser is rendering it just fine, ATM - it's reasonably sharp. I wonder what was going wrong?

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thank you...and it was surreal. BTW, the icicles at the top of the photo are maybe 6 to 8 feet / 2+ meters above the water - to give it some scale.

Thanks!

Believe it or not, those colors - that's what it looked like!

If you'd like some more redditors to see this beautiful photo, you can also post it to the sibling subreddit, r/desertporn, which is dedicated to such scenes. I'd guess it's eligible for being posted to r/remoteplaces, too

The Antarctic Sound is mostly famous for all the icebergs - they are sent north from the Weddell Gyre through the Sound. It was a real treat to be able to see them for myself. BTW, the bigger iceberg in this photo is very unusual for the Antarctic Sound area - most icebergs are much smaller (bergy-bits) or much bigger (tabular icebergs).

Thanks!

Me, too!

lower or upper (I have still to see either, myself, but I have seen peach canyon)?

Looks slippery, but what a view!

I was expressing my opinion that it also could be posted to r/SkyPorn (and I recommend you do so - some more redditors will see it that way)

I love the lighting and composition.

I really enjoy travel, and this was the single most memorable trip I've ever been on

>Drake Lake

Shake, by my standards (10+ m waves)

Thanks! Civilian, mix of amateur and professional

Thanks!

I had read about how rough South Georgia Island was, but that's not the same as seeing it. We also had the good fortune of seeing the waterfall that was the last obstacle before reaching the Stromness whaling plant, and Shackleton's grave at Grytviken (interesting that he wanted to be buried there). The Grytviken museum had a facsimile of the J Caird, and having just crossed the Drake Passage in "good" conditions, it is nuts that their rescue plan worked.

Nope. Elephant Island, in particular, provides no real shelter. Point Valentine was ridiculously exposed, and Point Wild (another) only a bit better.
