    I think it's fascinating to see these places from your perspective.

    Very cool indeed.

    We had a really pretty sunset today, I was really digging how the snow and water reflected the colors.

    The temperature dropped last night and because of it some Polar stratospheric clouds showed up. They are also known as Nacreous clouds. Pictures don't do them justice at all.

    We had a little bit of snow this past weekend, and it's about time that it actually added up to something.

    Snow drifts are one of the things that I love looking at but can be hard to capture.

    Also with the snow falling it gives the glacier a somewhat somber feel.

    I too love the formations that snow drifts make. Looks like a white out in your 2nd photo :D

    these last 2 sets of pix are very cool........but I think an HDR version would make a world of difference..........JMHO

    Thanks for the comments. I've been thinking of playing with some HDR, as I haven't really done any before. Of course as soon as I mention not getting much snow over night the amount of snow on the ground doubles.

    had some really nice weather today. The temps jumped up a bit from 0º to about 30º so it was nice and warm. :)

    With this warm air some fog also hit the area and stayed here until just around sunset and then it started to clear up.

    The fog really was good for pulling the colors out of the glacier.

    Though you can see it started to break up a little bit of the fog around sunset.

    The weather warmed up and thanks to some wind the little bit of sea ice near station is breaking up.

    Wow is that the same stretch of water than in your previous post? If so, what a melt!

    Basically. Though it may look like water it's an inch or two of sea ice.

    Yeah it does keep getting better here. Each day is a little longer than the last. The sun sets are amazing. The sea ice changes almost daily. And now the wildlife is slowly making it's way back.
