Antarctic. Natural harbor in the crater of the old volcano of Deception island.

Thank you very much for all your comments.

Very interesting that the peninsula looks like two dolphins!!!And the yacht/ship anchored in the natural harbour...a huge white bird resting on the blue water! Quite a sobering effect!

Très beau point de vue sur ces terres volcaniques encadrées par les parties enneigées. Et puis ce petit point blanc dans la baie, un yacht qui a eu la bonne idée de mouiller l'ancre à cet endroit, il donne à la fois une échelle et une touche de vie dans ce paysage de "désolation".

Super avec le voilier qui nous donne l'idée de l'immensité de cet endroit, un autre poster en devenir?

A most incredible view and image. I see the boat now that gives scale to the size.
