I am pleased to note that I have finished--more or less--the processing of my images from Antarctica.  It was a labor of love--but it was work. There were so many images I loved, but I have put what I think are the best of the best on this site for you to enjoy and purchase, if you wish. I loved the scenery and the wildlife--especially the albatross, as noted before and, of course, the ice.  I still think it is all about the ice.  

I admit I have also developed a fondness for the penguins.  I must have been living in a hole because I never realized that so many people are so crazy about penguins!  They have been among the most popular images I have posted on Facebook.  They were certainly notable, especially--the noise from a big group of them and their...ehm...aroma.  Yet it is, without doubt, their comical way of acting and peering into the camera that captivates most people.  I spent a fair amount of time during the trip just sitting on the ice and watching them, and they reciprocated by either coming up to me to try to figure out what I was, or by ignoring me! In either case, their inquisitiveness and antics, some of which were quite endearing, certainly made many memorable images that are now here for all to enjoy.
