  • A Zodiac boat explores a blue iceberg arch melting in Neko Harbor (an inlet of the Southern Ocean), at Graham Land, the north portion of the Antarctic Peninsula, Antarctica. Scientists have measured temperatures on the Antarctic Peninsula as warming faster than anywhere else on earth. An overwhelming consensus of world scientists agree that global warming is indeed happening and humans are contributing to it through emission of heat-trapping "greenhouse gases," primarily carbon dioxide (see www.ucsusa.org). Since the industrial revolution began, humans have increased atmospheric CO2 concentration by 35% (through burning of fossil fuels, deforesting land, and grazing livestock). Published in "Light Travel: Photography on the Go" book by Tom Dempsey 2009, 2010.

  • In February 2005 on the red and white ship M/S Explorer, we anchored near an arched blue iceberg at Neko Harbor, Graham Land (the north portion of the Antarctic Peninsula), Antarctica. Reuters News Pictures Service published this image in stories on the M/S Explorer, which sank after hitting an iceberg in 2007 and now lies sunk 600 meters deep in the Southern Ocean. The Explorer, owned by Canadian travel company GAP Adventures, took on water after hitting ice at 12:24 AM EST on Friday November 23, 2007. 154 passengers and crew calmly climbed into lifeboats and drifted some six hours in calm waters. A Norwegian passenger boat rescued and took them to Chile's Antarctic Eduardo Frei base, where they were fed, clothed, checked by a doctor, and later flown to Punta Arenas, Chile. The ship sank hours after the passengers and crew were safely evacuated.

  • Gentoo Penguins (Pygoscelis papua) emerge from iceberg bejeweled waters of the Southern Ocean to waddle to their summer colony on Cuverville Island, Antarctica. The adventure cruise ship M/S Explorer anchors offshore in 2005. An adult Gentoo Penguin has a bright orange-red bill and a wide white stripe extending across the top of its head. Chicks have grey backs with white fronts. Of all penguins, Gentoos have the most prominent tail, which sweeps from side to side as they waddle on land, hence the scientific name Pygoscelis, "rump-tailed." As the the third largest species of penguin, adult Gentoos reach 51 to 90 cm (20-36 in) high. They are the fastest underwater swimming penguin, reaching speeds of 36 km per hour. Cuverville Island is in Errera Channel off the west coast of Graham Land, the north portion of the Antarctic Peninsula.

  • A clear iceberg calved from from South Sawyer Glacier floats in Tracy Arm Fjord, seen via day cruise from Juneau, Alaska, USA. We highly recommend the smoothly stabilized day cruise aboard the 56-foot boat Adventure Bound. This journey to the heart of Tracy Arm-Fords Terror Wilderness (Tongass National Forest) rivals Norwegian fjords and adds a punchbowl of icebergs from the spectacular South Sawyer Glacier, which calved ice into the tidewater with a rumble and a splash. Whales, bears, sea lions and other wildlife showed up along the way. The fjord twists narrowly 30 miles into the coastal mountains, with peaks jutting up to a mile high, draped with tumbling waterfalls.

  • The captain of the Maria Turquesa cruises by a large iceberg seen out the windows on Lake Argentino, in Los Glaciares National Park, Argentina, Patagonia, South America. Starting from La Soledad private port, our ship cruised to the remote and impressive Spegazzini Glacier. The mouth of Upsala Canal allowed viewing distant Upsala Glacier. Landing in Spegazzini Canal Bay allowed a short walk to the old settlers' Las Vacas Station. Finally, navigating the Canal de los Tempanos reached impressive Perito Moreno Glacier where we briefly disembarked certain package-tour members. Remaining passengers cruised back to La Soledad port. Lago Argentino is the biggest freshwater lake in Argentina and reaches as deep as 500 meters (1640 feet). Its outlet, the Santa Cruz River, flows into the Atlantic Ocean. Despite most glaciers worldwide retreating due to global warming, the position of Perito Moreno Glacier's grounded tongue has been a relatively-stable exception for the past 50 years. In contrast, the larger Upsala and Viedma glaciers located north of Perito Moreno have retreated dramatically. Scientists say that nearly 90 percent of the glaciers in Antarctica and Patagonia are melting quickly (2009 data). Located 78 kilometers (48 mi) from El Calafate, Perito Moreno Glacier was named after explorer Francisco Moreno, a pioneer who studied the region in the 1800s and defended the territory of Argentina during the international border dispute with Chile. Los Glaciares National Park is honored on UNESCO's World Heritage List.

  • See Mount Wilbur (9321 feet or 2841 meters elevation) along the trail to Iceberg Lake and Ptarmigan Lake, in Glacier National Park, Montana, USA. Since 1932, Canada and USA have shared Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park, which UNESCO declared a World Heritage Site (1995) containing two Biosphere Reserves (1976). Rocks in the park are primarily sedimentary layers deposited in shallow seas over 1.6 billion to 800 million years ago. During the tectonic formation of the Rocky Mountains 170 million years ago, the Lewis Overthrust displaced these old rocks over newer Cretaceous age rocks. Glaciers carved spectacular U-shaped valleys and pyramidal peaks as recently as the Last Glacial Maximum (the last "Ice Age" 25,000 to 13,000 years ago). Of the 150 glaciers existing in the mid 1800s, only 25 active glaciers remain in the park as of 2010, and all may disappear by 2020, say climate scientists.

  • The M/S Explorer cruises through sea ice in Antarctica in February 2005. The M/S Explorer sank after hitting an iceberg in 2007, and now lies sunk 600 meters deep in the Southern Ocean. Two and a half years after our successful trip, the Explorer, owned by Canadian travel company GAP Adventures, took on water after hitting ice at 12:24 AM EST on Friday November 23, 2007. 154 passengers and crew calmly climbed into lifeboats and drifted some six hours in calm waters. A Norwegian passenger boat rescued and took them to Chile's Antarctic Eduardo Frei base, where they were fed, clothed, checked by a doctor, and later flown to Punta Arenas, Chile. The ship sank hours after the passengers and crew were safely evacuated.

  • Nicknamed "Kodak Gap" for its spectacular peaks above a narrow passage, Lemaire Channel lies off of Antarctica, between Kiev Peninsula in the continent's Graham Land and Booth Island. Steep cliffs hem in the iceberg-filled strait, which is 11 km long and narrows to just 1600 meters wide. Lemaire Channel was first seen by the German expedition of 1873-74, but not traversed until December 1898, when the Belgica of the de Gerlache expedition passed through. De Gerlache named it for Charles Lemaire (1863-1925), a Belgian explorer of the Congo. Popular Antarctic cruises are now attracted to Lemaire Channel by protected waters that are often as still as a lake (a rarity in the storm-wracked Southern Ocean), and the north-south traverse delivers vessels close to Petermann Island, home of the world's southernmost colony of Gentoo Penguins. The principal difficulty is that icebergs may fill the channel, especially in early season, obliging a ship to backtrack around the outside of Booth Island to reach Petermann.

  • People watch Gentoo Penguins (Pygoscelis papua) emerge from iceberg bejeweled waters of the Southern Ocean to waddle to their summer colony on Cuverville Island, Antarctica. An adult Gentoo Penguin has a bright orange-red bill and a wide white stripe extending across the top of its head. Chicks have grey backs with white fronts. Of all penguins, Gentoos have the most prominent tail, which sweeps from side to side as they waddle on land, hence the scientific name Pygoscelis, "rump-tailed." As the the third largest species of penguin, adult Gentoos reach 51 to 90 cm (20-36 in) high. They are the fastest underwater swimming penguin, reaching speeds of 36 km per hour. The rocky Cuverville Island is in Errera Channel off the west coast of Graham Land, the north portion of the Antarctic Peninsula. The island was discovered by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition (1897-1899) under Adrien de Gerlache, who named it for J.M.A. Cavelier de Cuverville (1834-1912), a vice admiral of the French Navy. Cuverville Island or Île de Cavelier de Cuverville is located at 64 degrees 41 minutes South Latitude and 62 degrees 38 minutes West Longitude.

  • Hike through forest beneath pyramidal peaks on the trail to Ptarmigan Lake, in Glacier National Park, Montana, USA. (A side trail departs at Ptarmigan Falls to visit Iceberg Lake, which can be a separate day hike, or long extension.) Since 1932, Canada and USA have shared Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park, which UNESCO declared a World Heritage Site (1995) containing two Biosphere Reserves (1976). Rocks in the park are primarily sedimentary layers deposited in shallow seas over 1.6 billion to 800 million years ago. During the tectonic formation of the Rocky Mountains 170 million years ago, the Lewis Overthrust displaced these old rocks over newer Cretaceous age rocks. Glaciers carved spectacular U-shaped valleys and pyramidal peaks as recently as the Last Glacial Maximum (the last "Ice Age" 25,000 to 13,000 years ago). Of the 150 glaciers existing in the mid 1800s, only 25 active glaciers remain in the park as of 2010, and all may disappear by 2020, say climate scientists.

  • Blue icebergs. Perito Moreno Glacier on Lake Argentino. El Calafate, Argentina, Patagonia, South America. The spectacular Perito Moreno Glacier is one of 48 glaciers fed by the Southern Patagonian Ice Field (the world's third largest reserve of fresh water). Moreno Glacier melts into Lake Argentino, surrounded by Los Glaciares National Park. Lago Argentino is the biggest freshwater lake in Argentina and reaches as deep as 500 meters (1640 feet). Its outlet, the Santa Cruz River, flows into the Atlantic Ocean. Despite most glaciers worldwide retreating due to global warming, Perito Moreno Glacier has been a relatively stable exception for the past hundred years. Located 78 kilometers (48 mi) from El Calafate, the glacier was named after explorer Francisco Moreno, a pioneer who studied the region in the 1800s and defended the territory of Argentina in the conflict surrounding the international border dispute with Chile. Los Glaciares National Park is honored on UNESCO's World Heritage List.

  • See shapely icebergs from South Sawyer Glacier floating in Tracy Arm Fjord, in the Alaska Panhandle, via day cruise from Juneau, Alaska, USA. We highly recommend the smoothly stabilized day cruise aboard the 56-foot boat Adventure Bound. This journey to the heart of Tracy Arm-Fords Terror Wilderness (Tongass National Forest) rivals Norwegian fjords and adds a punchbowl of icebergs from the spectacular South Sawyer Glacier, which calved ice into the tidewater with a rumble and a splash. Whales, bears, sea lions and other wildlife showed up along the way. The fjord twists narrowly 30 miles into the coastal mountains, with peaks jutting up to a mile high, draped with tumbling waterfalls.
