Hi Kaustubh.
That's a pretty cold summer! Not your average kind, that's for sure :) Lovely photo! You show us the area very nicely, with Mt. Erebus in the BG and the campers with their tents in the FG. I like the cubes of snow that are stacked together to make walls. Good depth and composition. I hope you stayed warm and didn't get frostbite in such freezing temperatures.
Thankyou for sharing this interesting place with us.

Hi Kaustubh,
Nice to see such an amazing place on TE! A good composition with a great light. I'm sure I will never go there (too cold for me!), so thank you for sharing it.
Best regard,
Catherine

Hello Kaustubh,
I am wondering what you were doing on the bottom of the globe. Was it work related or adventure? Very few people go here and even less go inland. I work with some scientists and technicians who were stationed in the South Pole for research and they are in a very exclusive club. This is a fascinating photo with excellent composition. The mountain in the distance show how high in elevation Antarctica is. This is truly an outstanding expeditionary photograph! Excellent work!
