Antarctica Icebergs in Charlotte Bay, Antarctica
Charlotte Bay lies along the rugged west coast of the Antarctic Peninsula, framed by steep, ice-covered mountains and drifting pack ice. The bay is a remote and pristine haven for wildlife, where you can often spot seals resting on ice floes, seabirds gliding through the icy air or penguins and whales. Its untouched beauty and quiet isolation make it a powerful example of Antarctica’s raw and fragile wilderness.
Photography Tips
Search for bigger icebergs in your area with a bit of blue on the outside. If you are lucky you can find some with a small pond inside.
