The wilderness of Antarctica offers spectacular scenic vistas, from ice tongues on the ocean to ice walls, frozen lakes, snow-clad peaks and volcanoes. From colours and shadows cast by the movement of the sun, the towering walls of snow and ice, and extensive fast-ice extending across the ocean
Fast-ice, also known as shore-fast ice, is ice that is anchored to a landmass, or similar that fixes it in place, instead of floating free like drift ice. Fast-ice in the Antarctic is the sea ice that has frozen along coastlines, shoals or shallow parts of the continental shelf. Often the fast-ice covers an extensive iced region, that protrudes significantly from land.
There is plenty of opportunities for some magnificent photography, even for the amateur. So make sure you bring your camera to capture those memories of a lifetime.
