  • A lone adélie penguin sits on an iceberg near Useful Island, Antarctica.  Because it's so early in the season, the water is quite clear, and the ice below the surface turns the water aqua.

  • Gourdin Island is in the Antarctic peninsula, where climate change is having an impact.  It's somewhat ironic seeing this adélie penguin on an iceberg waving goodbye, as both will be affected by the changing weather.

  • In late winter in Svalbard, in the high arctic when the sun spends hours just above the horizon, Anon saw a group of walrus lying in the snow.  After being nearly hunted to extinction, walrus have made a tremendous recovery and are a fascinating species.  Anon joined them, lying in the snow for hours, waiting for them to look at him.  One briefly lifted its head, as if to see what this strange-smelling thing was, and then went back to sleep.

  • Walrus spend a lot of their day lying around, sleeping.  Walrus action is when they lift their head up.  On a late winter trip to the Arctic, I spent hours lying in the snow on Moffen Island, just off of Spitsbergen, Svalbard.  I was hoping for a break in the clouds to get the walrus backlit, but the dreary gray sky didn't look like it would cooperate.  It started snowing, and the clouds parted just long enough for me to take this one frame of walrus acting like they normally do--sleeping--and then it went back to being gray.

  • The first day of midnight sun in Longyearbyen, Svalbard is a special time, as the sun stays low to the horizon for hours and makes the snow-covered world golden.  This Svalbard Ptarmigan in white winter plumage sat in melting snow, curiously looking at this weird thing lying on the ground with a big white lens.  After a lot of inching, I was able to position myself so that the ptarmigan was backlit in this glowing world.

  • South Georgia Island is an amazing experience.  You sail for days, and suddenly a small bit of land appears with mountains, glaciers, and an incredible wildlife density.  It's hard to capture photos that do the experience of being there justice.  I was lying in the sand focusing on this fur seal at sunrise when this group of penguins walked in front of me.  This shot captures the South Georgia experience to me in one shot, as it has a range of wildlife, a range of weather, and a range of landscapes, all in one frame.
