Humongous trip picture post #2

These were all taken from the ship or from zodiac outings. Pics from the shore visits will be posted separately.

This is where the scenic bits start, folks.

( Assorted bits of frozen scenery. Once again, NOT dialup-friendly. )

cruises, travel, antarctica

Wow! These are *all* brilliant!

How tall were all those mountains/icebergs/etc...I'm having a hard time estimating size.

Honestly, I had trouble estimating scale myself. I don't recall ever looking at the top of any of these icebergs, not even when I stood on the bridge, so they were at least as tall as the ship or taller. So... like a five or six story building, maybe?

Scary! (and cool!)

Wow wow wow. :)

So I guess you're saying wow, then? :-)

dotfic September 2 2006, 22:36:09 UTC

Wow, even. :)

Glad you're enjoying them. I'm really having fun going through them all again as I decide which ones to put up.

Wow. These are gorgeous. I feel tingly on your behalf just looking at them!

Thanks! The whole trip was like spending six weeks in a picture postcard.
