Until you've sat in a Zodiak, in the freezing cold ............ with  
wind, it's very difficult to realize just how difficult it is to  
wield a Hasselblad, also with longish lenses.

Congratulations Alastair and Helen on, and thanks for, a glimpse into  
your trip.

I particularly enjoyed:
Ice and Snow: 26,29,34
Landscapes: 42,48,56
Wildlife: 03,07,13,13

............ but, Equipment was no show.......... yet.

B.
