The Neumayer Channel, 65°S 63°W, is 16 miles long and about 1.5 miles wide on the western side of the Antarctic Peninsula. Wiki link here. It separates Anvers Island from Wiencke and Doumer Island, part of the Palmer Archipelago. This photo was taken at 2300 local time, with sunset that evening at 2350. To me, with the wildlife, these were the types of scenes that I had come to see.
The ripples in the water were created by our boat moving slowly through the channel, I think partly so we would enjoy the view and also to push carefully through the sea ice. There was little wind so it was cold outside but not really cold if you had most of your gear on.
A larger version of this photo has been uploaded here and can be found in colour at PSC. It will also be found shortly framed in an art gallery in Fulham. I hope there will be some punters...
