Description

This is a beautiful sunset during the summer season in Antarctica. Midsummer there falls on 21 or 22 December. The Lemaire Channel separates Booth Island from the Graham Coast, on the Antarctic Peninsula. It was first navigated in February 1898 by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition, which named it after Charles Lemaire, a Belgian explorer of the Congo who had helped organize the expedition.
