It was interesting approaching icebergs. In the wide open spaces of the Antarctic, it was somewhat difficult to determine just how big the icebergs were. This was one of the earliest large icebergs that we came across (though not large by later iceberg standards). I have included three photos of it. If you notice in the first photo, the front of our ship is aimed right for it. I thought that odd at the time, but it turned out to be relatively normal for our ship. The captain liked to give us a close up view of icebergs, glaciers, whales, and everything else. In the second photo, you can see that we have gotten much closer to this iceberg. This is not from my zooming in with my camera lens. In the third photo, I’m on the seventh deck in full back lens (non-zoom) and you can see how much of the berg is in the photo. I’m not saying that we were too close, but with the wind behind me, I’m sure I could have spit on this iceberg.
