Maybe it’s the heat, but I’ve been thinking a lot lately about Antarctica. I have been many times over the years, but there is still something irresistible about the ice, the light, and the wildlife that gets me fired up again every time.

There are still moments of unexpected light and color, and the very real chance of capturing rare or spectacular behavior. It is, quite simply, an amazing place.
