Antarctica Coastal Ice Shelf

It was a rare moment in Antarctica when the wind just stopped, and nothing was moving. The air was as crystal clear as a diamond and the low light was soft so that there was no glare on the ice. Surrounds by the vast, empty space, it felt like the moment was frozen in Time. It was an awesome feeling. The zodiac was close enough to the ice shelf that I could use a 12mm lens. It accentuated the lines from the cliff and clouds, so they appear to extend far into the distance enhancing the feel of remoteness.
