Visiting Antarctica

Part Eleven Mikkelsen Harbor The beach was mostly cleared of snow and Ice, which allowed me to see some cool rocks! Some of the larger chunks of snow and ice created some great images and more penguins. I think the darker rocks make colors pop; this was on the same 40-foot or 12-meter stretch ofContinue reading “Visiting Antarctica”

Part Nine Paradise Island It was snowing. People, boats, and cameras were getting wet, but the penguins were fine with the snow. Of course, I don’t speak penguin so maybe they were complaining about it. Paradise Island is where we saw dirty penguins; that’s not a euphemism; they do get dirty. Too much muck willContinue reading “Visiting Antarctica”

The snowshoers were fromContinue reading “Visiting Antarctica”

It’s a city of 90K people carved between the Martial Mountains and the cold watersContinue reading “Visting Antarctica”

Day 7, part 8 Off to Crater Lake. Traveling south, the park has an upside-down ‘p’ shape; it’s a straight road for a few miles, and then you reach the crater, becoming a loop road. Make sure to use the overlook parking stop, turn around, and view Mountain behind you. I was focusing to theContinue reading “Visting Oregon”
