Deception Island Iby ~Kwayera

Photography / Animals, Plants & Nature / Landscapes

And they, the pioneers, set forth from a dead land...

Chinstrap (though it's hard to tell with the distance) penguins on Deception Island, South Shetland Islands, Antarctica.

NOTE: apart from minor adjustments to colour and contrast, this has NOT BEEN PHOTOMANIPULATED. What you see is what I saw.

That is... really bizarre. I had to stare at it for a looong time to figure out just what was going on. At first it looked like two land shots with one shopped into the sky. It totally blows my sense of perspective. Those boulders on that slope must have been HUGE.

~Kwayera Nov 3, 2007

Hehe, is it weird to be flattered by that?

The best way to visualise it is apparently of a flat beach backed by a huge valley wall (which is a good approximation). The hill at the back had a slope of about 20 degrees, which I later climbed to get a shot from the top.

It helps, I think, to know that the penguins in question are about two feet high

The boulders were pretty big, and the colours of the rock changed such that later, when scaling the slope, it felt like we were walking on Mars.
