Antarctica in Black and White

I'm out of here in just a couple days. Since I last posted, there was a pretty major storm and all the sea ice vanished and it's all open water between us and the Royal Society Range. Plenty of shenanigans (cancellations, kites, hikes, etc.) ensued, but in honor of the end of the season, I've decided to dedicate this post entirely to pictures.

I'll never be one to give up a window seat just because 'I've seen it before'. No place or thing ever looks exactly the same twice. Whether it's a physical difference, like different lighting or different atmospheric conditions, or a mental one, like a new mindset, there's always something new to be seen in the most familiar place. Both in light and in spite of this outlook, I made the switch to black and white photography while visiting sites this year to which I had already been. I've decided to cobble together a collection of 15 of those photos from the 2014-2015 season. I'll save you the detailed philosophy (feel free to ask me sometime) - please enjoy the photos!

As always, thanks for reading!
