jaw dropping scenery

While I think people shots are always the favorite, I’ve got to put in some scenery shots. I wish I could do this place justice through photographs alone, but it really is a total body experience. The mountains, the air, the ice, they never lose their ability to take my breath away. This is a photo of the Transantarctic Mountains, about 100 km south of McMurdo, the U.S. base. It gives me the urge to reach out and run my finger along the spine of the ridge, like it’s a little pet lizard landscape or something, just sunning there in the snow.
