Snow on the Antarctic Penninsula



Glittering white, shining blue, raven black, in the light of the sun the land looks like a fairy tale.  Pinnacle after pinnacle, peak after peak, crevassed, wild as any land on our globe, it lies, unseen and untrodden.  --Ronald Amundsen as quoted by Peter Matthiessen in End of the Earth: Voyages to Antarctica. 



























This will be my last post until I am settled in Fairbanks, Alaska, later this month.
