[Leica] Icebergs

Continuing the Antarctica journey, as we were leaving South Georgia
for the Antarctic continent, we made a detour to a dramatic inlet with
glaciers tumbling down from all sides called Drygalski Fjord. As we
approached the entrance it all looked quite dramatic:

When we went in, it suddenly got dark and extremely blustery, and very
cold, which the captain, to his credit, navigated expertly in a very
narrow channel. At the end of the fjord, the clouds were low, dark and
dense, and the place was full of glaciers:

On the way out, however, the weather started clearing up:

So we set sail for the continent, and shortly after, icebergs started
turning up, glimmering under gray skies:

Then a big tabular iceberg showed up with a small flock of Chinstrap
Penguins along for the ride:
