[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This picture was taken from the scientific ice-breaker Nathaniel B. Palmer during a work-cruise between Christchurch (New-Zealand) and MacMurdo Base in Antarctica. Antarctica is a majestic place and at the same time a very fragile continent.

Cette photo a été prise durant une expédition scientifique depuis le le brise-glace Nathaniel B. Palmer.

I really like the sharp angles of the near iceburg, compared to the smoother, rounded snow of the background mountains. It almost looks like a little city of square white buildings on top of the iceburg. I'd like more notes, like what you were doing in this part of the world. It looks like you took this photo from a boat?

Hi Antoine,

Greetings Hans

Salut Antoine,
Je n'ai jamais eu la chance de visiter ces contrées... je dois me contenter de rêver en photos... la tienne en fait partie... les bleus sont majestueux... et le relief de cet iceberg au premier plan est impressionant. On dirait une ville de glace illuminée de blancheur sous le soleil.
(! je réalise tout en écrivant que c'est le titre de ta photo ;-))
Amicalement

Hello Antoine,
Superbe photo d'iceberg, mon rêve...

Alain

Interesting ice formations with lots of sharp edges. As the photo has very low contrast, I tried to make some adjustments to improve it. Check out the workshop.

Hi Antoine.
What a spectacular icescape, looks like a gigantic battlecruiser. the WS level correction is fine, I was about to suggest the same.
