This one made me more than ordinarily crabby. The arches are whale ribs. Humph.
From here on in, things of beauty I promise.

Hi there
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting my blog - I love the photos on your blog, I have always wanted to go to Antartica and Alaska:):) have a good day

Oh, yeah, I would love to go to Antarctica with you--in person, I mean. Wow, what a trip that must have been.
ReplyDeleteIt makes my face hurt smiling when I think of it. And paradoxically also brings tears to my eyes. But yeah, it was amazing.
ReplyDeleteThe baby Kings look like they're wearing fur coats, so cute.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I really want to go to Antarctica too one day. The images are beautiful, those penguins are just so divine! It must have been an amazing trip.
ReplyDeleteThe Penguins are cute but they can have the Antarctica all to themselves, toooooo cold for me. Fantastic photos all the same :-).
ReplyDeletebeautiful photos of the penguins and ice. I have to agree with you on the whale bones though
ReplyDeleteWow, I have always wanted to go to Antarctica. I nearly went as a kitchen hand on the Nella Dan ( (a danish boat) but the kitchen hand I was supposed to be replacing decided to go after all. Then I had a baby and life just interveneds and stops certain adventures. Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteNothing wrong with penguin photos. Even in the blackest of moods, the sight of penguins can make me smile and even laugh out loud and clap my hands like a little girl!
ReplyDeleteyes. what Two Tigers both said above.
ReplyDeletePenguins ROCK - thanks for sharing.
Beating my flippers wildly on the ice - gorgeous photos! The baby k p's look so cuddly.
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to come to terms with a culture so different that whale ribs are perfectly acceptable, isn't it? But .. I guess they are a part of the Falkland Islands' culture and they're just viewed differently. *Sigh*
ReplyDeleteLove the penguins and ice photos!
Thank you one and all. When the first explorers saw baby King penguins they thought they were a different species because they look so different to the adults. Understandable I think. You will have to let me know when you overdose on Antarctica.
ReplyDeleteSome great pictures there, EC. It would be nice to visit the southern end of the earth.

I called my daughter Anya to view these fantastic photos with me and all she kept saying was "OMG".
ReplyDeleteThank you Joni and Anya. It was an amazing place. If you haven't had the chance to look already there are more Antarctica photos on my earlier posting Memories.
