Iceberg in a Blood-red Sea

Description

Sunsets in Antarctica can be one of the most surreal experiences of a lifetime. This photo was made during an epic Lemaire Channel episode of over three hours. The channel lies at about 65° S, just north of the Antarctic Circle (66°34′ S), beyond which the sun stays above the horizon all day at midsummer, on 21 or 22 December. Icebergs like this one are pieces of ice that have broken off a glacier or an ice shelf into the sea.
