single photos Giants of Antarctica

Huge icebergs drifting off the coast of the Antarctic Peninsula.

Wow, amazing! You got the perfect light to capture all of the details in the iceberg. I just wish I could go on a trip like that. How big was the iceberg?? I guess it's just a little bit difficult to get a sense on how big this piece of ice is from this picture. Overall a great shot!

It's not something that we get to photograph within a couple of hours driving. I like how you arrange the elemtens in this image, your exposure is excellent.

Thanks for your comments both. It is difficult to answer your question Jairo, but suffice to say both these icebergs were monstrous. At a guess I would say our ship was half the height of the nearest berg. Length wise, its even more difficult to gauge, but probably ten times longer than the ship. They certainly were awe-inspiring to witness, and out of this world. It was a privilidge to visit Antarctica.
