A Sea of Ice

My daughter Lila captured this one
of the sky and these towering
icebergs reflected in the glassy waters 

of Antarctica's Southern Ocean.

  3. Words of praise are mere useless vanity compared to this image. Actually being there must have been like physically entering the most amazingly 3-D computer graphics, only far, far better. (We haven’t gotten to 3-D 5S yet). The sounds of quiet water, breathing the cold air into their lungs, brilliant sunshine, and all the other sensory experiences we have little idea of, yet we feel thrilled at the surreal spectacle before us.

    Thank you for this window into a world I could never imagine. Thanks Alexa. Thanks Lila.
