When I think of Antarctica my mind goes to weather, ice, glaciers, mountains, penguins and maybe seals, but whales were also a frequent sight during my last trip. I wasn't as prepared for the very long-range shooting they often require, but we had a few close encounters, and this was one of my favorite results, a nice cascade of water off the tail, and enough of a hint of the ice behind to give the image a sense of place.
