There are a few small signs of man's impact over the years including this former British research station at Pork Lockroy.
Polar Cirkle boat
Date/Time: Mon 30 Nov 2009 08:26:11 AM MST
Polar Cirkle boats are used to transport passengers and there is beauty in the contrast of the powerful boats in the placid waters.
Stark reality

Tourists surrounded by the vastness of the landscape.
Snowy Peninsula
Date/Time: Tue 01 Dec 2009 07:33:42 PM MST
A glacier meets the sea with a snowy peninsula in the foreground. The small dark speck on the upper side of the peninsula is a Polar Cirkle boat with 10 people. The dots near them on land are seals.
Iceberg Scale
Date/Time: Mon 30 Nov 2009 12:19:17 PM MST
These icebergs were comparatively small. The Polar Cirkle boat helps add scale.
Nature's Art
Date/Time: Mon 30 Nov 2009 10:29:00 AM MST
Icebergs are carved by the wind and sea into incredibly beautiful shapes.
Ice Depth
Date/Time: Tue 01 Dec 2009 07:10:18 AM MST
Icebergs only have a small portion above water. The majority is underwater as you can see here. The water is also incredibly clear with visibility easily 50 or more feet down into the depths.
Ice Ship
Date/Time: Wed 02 Dec 2009 05:17:08 PM MST
The patterns in the right iceberg made me think of a ship's hull. In reality those are sheets of ice that were frozen together at unusual angles to form the iceberg.
Prototypical Antarctica
Date/Time: Tue 01 Dec 2009 09:54:25 PM MST
I think that this is what most people envision Antarctica to look like. However this is actually not the norm.
Touring Antarctica
Date/Time: Wed 02 Dec 2009 07:25:54 PM MST
A line of tourists absorbing the Antarctic scenery.
Antarctic Sunset
Date/Time: Mon 30 Nov 2009 11:43:36 PM MST
Sunset on a windy, cold, late-spring Antarctic night.
Nature's Canvas 2
Date/Time: Tue 01 Dec 2009 07:45:42 PM MST
Same spot as Nature's Canvas 1, but shot a little darker giving a very different feeling.
