If Antarctica were music it would be Mozart. Art, and it would be Michelangelo. Literature, and it would be Shakespeare And yet it is something even greater; the only place on earth that is still as it should be. May we never tame it. |

Pictures fall short of capturing the true spirit of Antarctica; nevertheless, I did my level best to snap a few that would offer a glimpse into the highest, driest, coldest, and windiest of the continents. |
