 Palmer Archipelago, Antarctica Reflection

   April 11, 2022

   Summary Author:  Gianluca Lombardi

   The photo above was taken near the Fief range on  Wiencke Island and
   features the calm, reflective waters of the  Palmer Archipelago,
   Antarctic Peninsula. At the entrance to the  Neumayer Channel the
    wind suddenly stopped blowing at sea level. However, the wind
   likely strengthened at higher altitudes as it started sweeping the
    clouds and leaving a mixture of thin clouds over the mountains. The
   sea was totally immobile, creating a mirror surface. This stillness
   gave a feeling of floating in the air, in a surreal silence.
