| My daughter Lila took this shot as the good ship Fram crossed the Drake Passage, between the very bottom of South America and the tippy-top of Antarctica. Its width (500 miles/800 kilometers) allows for the flow of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current. Storms here can be a little hairy, but the one my girls experienced was not quite as bad as some, I believe. [To see more of the Thursday Photo Challenge, go here.] |
