Gerlache Strait
Between the Palmer Archipelago and the Danco Coast—on the west side of the Antarctic Peninsula—runs the sprawling waterway of Gerlache Strait. The channel is almost 200 km (124 miles) long. De Gerlache originally named it “Belgica Strait” after the ship he used in his expedition, though later the strait was renamed in honor of de Gerlache himself. I was fortunate to have good weather the day we visited, which allowed me to get some great landscape captures.
