Linda looking on as Scott and Luke, two members of our dedicated expedition team wade out chest deep to get our zodiac out past the brash (thick accumulation of sea ice chunks) which would lift the zodiac and foul the propeller.

The color of the ice in the icebergs was astonishing. Linda was always an agreeable foreground model.

For me the highlight of Cuverville Island was cruising in the zodiac among the icebergs. Here they were older and weathered, blown and drifted in from distant glaciers. Much safer than other areas we had visited with icebergs for these were less apt to suddenly cleave and potentially swamp the zodiac. The colors of the ice is just indescribable.
