Back from Antarctica

Ok gang - just got home and haven't been through all the pictures yet, but here's a couple of the good ones for now. More to follow of course. Yes, I'm that close to the penguins.

A B&W of the stream we had to cross. It's artsy.


Here's a picture of a Gentoo penguin and two chicks who might not survive since they are so late in development with the impending fall/winter.



Chunks of huge icebergs. I also took a plunge into water like this 1 day after this. Don't have that picture handy, but it wasn't as cold and mind-numbing as I thought it would be.
