sunsets surrounded by Ice
When you are up at around midnight on the Antarctic Peninsula you might get the chance to witness a sunset, which can be time stopping to say the least. Keep in mind the sunrise is usually around 2am and sunsets are sometime around midnight, which means it can be a late night if you choose to remain awake for it or an early start depending if you wish to go to be early and wake up for sunrise.
This shot we just finished a long day cruising through thick brash ice and sea ice whilst doing 2 excursions around Verandsky Station and Petermann Island. We decided to start cruising towards the Antarctic Circle that evening and were greeted by an amazing sunset, which was at about 11:30pm and I couldn't resist taking my camera out for at least one photo to capture the peaceful moment of what was the end of an adventurous and busy day.

Thanks, mate! I greatly appreciate it!
Nice and a long day.
That it was! but worth it
Beautiful and interesting to hear how long the days are. I experience a little bit that in Alaska in May. Nothing quite as long as 22 hour days!
I am glad you liked the post and photo! It is quite something else to experience it. hope you get the chance to do it sometime
I wish your photos were automatically applied as my background on my desktop. Each photo is at least as beautiful as the previous! Love your work!
