The historic Tybee Light Station (Lighthouse) is open to the public. This shot was supposed to be a lot bigger but the 8Gb memory card decided to fill up less than half way through, plus it was a really cold day with the wind making things even worse, so rather than redo it, we packed up and hiked the 178 steps back down with an oath to try it again some other day. |

On the rarely visited Northwest side of St Vincent is the most beautiful reef teaming with fishes and marine life. The Creole Wrasse are plaktivores, they eat plankton out of the water column above the reef. Strong currents bring in lots of plankton sweeping over the reef. The reef affords protection for the wrasses when the bar jacks and other piscivorous predators come for their turn at the dinner table. |

Mystic Seaport: The Museum of America and the Sea is a great place to visit whenever you are in Connecticut. The seaport is a replica of an 1800's New England coastal town. Visitors get a chance to explore the wooden ships that are moored at the docks, and to see how a seaport supported the ships and crews. Don't forget to stop by the planetarium for a star show or for lessons in navigation.

New Island in the Falkland Islands was our last stop before returning to Ushuaia. It is a hilly, dry place with interesting rock formations and wonderful wildlife. The climb up the hill behind us revealed the Magellanic Penguin burrows that you can see in another panorama on this gigapan site. There was a multitude of fur seals at the foot of the cliffs on the other side of the island. Here we wait for zodiacs to take us back to the ship. This 30 shot panorama was captured with a Nikon D80 and stitched with Autopano Pro. |

This is a clearer view of the Base Esperanza panorama that was uploaded to the Gigapan site on April 16. In the new image the snow has stopped, and the wind has had about a half hour to clean snow off of the buildings. In this image you get a better idea of the layout of the facility, but the older image tells you a bit more about late summer weather on the north tip of the Antarctic Peninsula.
Base Esperanza is an Argentine research station on Hope Bay that is inhabited year-round. Thanks again to the people at Esperanza who made our visit so pleasant.. I hope that you enjoy these panoramas of your home. |
