Penguins in Antarctica: An Extraordinary Photo Shoot with David C. Schultz

Channels carved by tiny air bubbles in a portion of an iceberg that was underwater at one time.
 

Just getting there can be interesting. This is the Russian icebreaker Kapitan Khlebnikov (Hlebnikov) parked in the ice in the Weddell Sea, Antarctica
 

This is for real, not Photoshopped...and yes my camera gear was insured! :-) A group of Emperor Penguins came along and started to check out my gear on the ice in Antarctica.
 

Here's a link to video I shot on this trip of the Emperor penguins if you're interested. http://youtu.be/rLcpYeiQ_DQ
