Sunset over Antarctica


It might sound like nothing, but flying over the Antarctic, seeing thousands of miles of white/blue ice is just amazing. It is "awesome" in the old fashioned sense of the word. But best viewed, I think, from the warmth and safety of a plane. This shot is from the flight from Buenos Aires to Sydney, where we dipped down so far south that the sun was setting in the middle of the day.
