South Georgia Island, Falkland Islands, 1998

Photograph by Maria Stenzel

Crowned by snowy fog, a nunatuk, or mountain peak rising from a plane of ice, looms over South Georgia Island in the Falklands. This icy crest was first crossed in 1916 by Ernest Shackleton and his Antarctic crew—and was soon crossed again by a team sent to rescue them.


(Photo shot on assignment for, but not published in, "Shackleton: Epic of Survival" November 1998, National Geographic magazine)

Katyzzz,

what a wonderful picture...breath taking!

This piece reminds me of the foam from the ocean at high tide...

Very pretty!

Take care,

Nick
