Arriving in the Beagle Channel at sunset

in #animalphotography • 7 years ago

Besides seeing a huge pod of playful Dusky Dolphins at the entrance of the beagle channel we were greeted by flocks and flocks of black browed albatross sitting on the calm waters. As the ship approached them they would take off, which was a perfect opportunity to do my best to snap a picture of these graceful giants.

“Once wedded to Nature there is no divorce - separate her you may and hide yourself amongst the flesh-pots of London, but the wild will keep calling and calling forever in your ears. You cannot escape the ‘little voices’.”

-Frank Wild

      Your quote fits perfectly to the shot! It makes me want to go out on the sea and feel the fresh breeze on my skin and the smell of salty water...

              I read a while back that more and more tourists are visiting Antarctica as time passes. Do you think a growing number of tourist can have a disastrous effect on Antarctica's pristine environment?
