The Frozen Continent: A selection of slides from my Antarctic presentation for schools, showing landscapes,icebergs, glaciers, wildlife, mountaineering, tourism, and unusual activities such as bathing in a thermal spring in the Southern Ocean. My presentation includes aerial photos showing glaciers, pack ice, and mountains poking through the ice of the Polar Plateau. These were taken when I was a guest speaker on Qantas sight-seeing fly-overs.

Climbing at Paradise Bay
The Antarctic Peninsula is a mountaineering paradise, such as here at aptly named Paradise Bay

A whale of a time
A grey day made special by close encounters of the Humpback Whale kind.

Adelie penguins
Adelie penguins rouse themselves from a snooze on their ice floe as we cruise past in our zodiac

Glacier travel, Antarctic Peninsula
As it steepens before plunging into the water, the glacier is cracked by crevasses. Climbers roped together negotiate a safe route through

Glacial collapse
Ice debris from the collapse of the glacial front spreads out across Paradise Bay as we watch in awe the scale of the scene.

Mountains buried by ice
A flat-topped mountain is almost swallowed ice that is over kilometre thick. Ice erosion has left deposits of debris on the surface of the polar icecap.

Humpback whales off the Antarctic Peninsula
A family of three humpbacks entertained us for over an hour, surfacing between our boats for a few minutes then disappearing underwater for another 5 or 10 minutes, leaving us with only the magnificent scenery.

Iceberg climbing
Icebergs are extraordinary objects, floating castles of ice, in endless shades of blue and white. To climb an iceberg is to experience it from another dimension, just as looking at the moon is different from standing on it.

The edge of the Antarctic pack ice
The edge of the sea ice initially breaks into huge ice-floes, seen here from several kilometres above. Both breaking free and still trapped in the ice are chunks of glacier, destined to be icebergs.
