Description

Icebergs have amazing lives. This one is close to the end, it's been whittled away by sun, waves and wind. On a calm day like this the reflections emphasize the beauty. Neko Harbour, in Andvord Bay, is named after the Neko, a whaling factory ship from Leith, Scotland, that anchored here in most seasons from 1911 to 1924. The glaciers around the bay calve regularly, and the waves they set off can be dangerous on shore.
