Antarctica

Some images I took in Antarctica few years ago. All three were shot with the Olympus E-510 and Zuiko 14-54mm lens.

These are spectacular. Was the trip on business or pleasure?

Thanks Don. I went on a cruise three years ago.

I especially like the first two! I'd love to go down there and do some ski touring one day. It's still such a wild frontier. The light on the iceberg is pretty cool!

I used to have that same camera. Good but noisy at or above ISO 800.

Well, I'm afraid skiing in Antarctica is not possible because tourists are not allowed onshore, only scientists work there with special permits. That what makes it a very special place because it looks today the same when it was created millions of years ago.

Surely it isn't all like that or places like this (http://www.adventure-network.com/exp...ski-antarctica) couldn't exist.

I read it, I was wrong about it. But only 9000 people visit onland annually.

Middle one is sublime.
