Wow!
These are extraordinary. Having read about the exploits of Ross, Amundsen, Shackleton, and the others, these images really help me imagine that I am there in that dark and forbidding place.
Thanks so much for sharing these.

Thank you Eric for the the kind words. Great to hear the images help with what you read on the early explorers. Their mark is still here even as the landscape changes with our presence here, though we do try and keep our impact to minimum.
Cheers,

Not to mention c-c-c-c-cold.

It does get a bit cool down here. This winter was a little warmer than other winters I have done. Though windier days and overcast as well, not a great year for star gazing though we did get our views. Other years we were spoiled with near ability to go out most any time to see the open sky. Every winter is different is my experience anyway.
Those are spectacular sets of images! I particularly love the one of Observation Hill with the Milky Way arching over it.

Thank you Jeremy for the compliment and great to hear you very much enjoyed the Milky Way over Observation hill. I did an image a few years ago with the MW over the hill but no leading lines and I felt it was a bit flat. This year I headed up the road to use it as a leading line along with the other hill side.
Yes, these photos are a pleasure to see. Appropriately documentarian in style IMO. Thanks for posting 'em! Love the skyscapes in particular.

Thank you Dave, is great to hear you enjoyed the set. I did a photo book of the images I took last season and try to have it flow through the season for friends and family to view and even myself for memory lane. I think these images will be in this years photo book in this order. Antarctica is amazing, as harsh as the weather can and does get, it seems to balance that with very beautiful skyscapes.
Thank you all for taking the time to view and comment.
Cheers,
Josh
