The little specs on the snow are gentoo penguins. In summer, the ice fields are dotted with vibrant red, orange, green and yellow growths (lichen, moss, fungi, and algae). Although most of my trip in Antarctica was blessed with sunny days, this day was misty, overcast, and very moody. The ship was the M.S. Disko, and the trip was with Marine Expeditions, a Canadian-based travel company. Memory escapes me…I believe it was 1998. I’ll have to find the travel package in my storage room to confirm. I’ll post more photos from this trip shortly.
