In case you haven't been watching the news, the Ocean Nova ran aground in Antarctica. This is the same ship I was on in January (although it's a different captain: some of the crew switched over after the latest cruise).

Here you can see the Ocean Nova in the background. This photo was taken less than 10km from where the ship has run aground!

Fish Islands, Antarctica

Another shot from the same morning as the Arc de Triomphe image. Here's a snapshot as we got closer:

Lemaire Channel, Antarctica

This line of ice was probably pushed into a line right across the channel just by the winds. This was taken from the side of the ship as we sailed through it.
The colour of the ice is very different from the shots above, but it's not a mistake!

Latest update: the ship got off at the next high tide. Inspection by diver indicates no apparent damage, but this will be confirmed by inspection back at port. In the meantime the passengers have been transferred to another ship from the same company to continue their voyage.

I thought of your trip when I first read the news reports. These images are of the same high standard as you previous 10 sets. I'd like to single out the second and fourth images espeically. #2 because it's strkingly different to the other shots I've seen and #4 for it's great leading lines.

Keep them coming I'm not vaguely bored yet
