Dear Reader (2025-02-19),
Part of appreciating the Antarctica experience is to also pause and reflect on its ugly history. One location where we landed was where whales were once slaughtered. The few remaining whale bones speak volumes.
In today’s post you and I also continue taking zodiac cruises through sculpture gardens. On days when the sea was calm enough and the weather clear enough those in the kayak program would go out for a paddle.
As I was editing one of the photographs said please do something, and so we have a sky that is not real.
You are welcome to share a link to this page with others.
As always, all comments are welcome and sought.
Cheers, Sean

One of the Star Trek movies involved going back in time to snatch some whales to stave off an alien invasion. Or something. Plot was never a big consideration for Star Trek. In any case, we would be well served if the intelligent whale/dolphin/octopus aliens from the next star system dropped in and started harvesting human brains turned to tapioca through watching too much network television, in revenge for what we’ve done to the oceans.
1- See above comment.
3- The poor freaked out penguin.
4- Takes bigger stones than I have to kayak in such a place.
5- The maw! The maw! Complete with tiny teeth. Maybe there is an internal tentacle, waiting.
6- There is something alien about this.
9- I’ve sometimes thought that the many iceberg shapes speak volumes about the lifecycle. I wonder if anyone has done a time lapse movie of the life of an iceberg.
10- This is almost like a modern art sculpture.
12- This is a delightful, but subtle photo in many ways.
