Almost midnight, sunset over Lemaire Channel, Antarctica

            Lemaire Channel is a strait off Antarctica, between Kiev Peninsula in the mainland's Graham Land and Booth Island. Nicknamed "Kodak Gap" by some, it is one of the top tourist destinations in Antarctica; steep cliffs hem in the iceberg-filled passage, which is 11 km long and just 1,600 metres wide at its narrowest point.

What You’ll See on the Lemaire Channel?
A spartan wilderness of rock and ice rising out of the sea: snow-swept cliffsides, ice-clutched slopes, gnarled mountain peaks spiking 1,000 meters high (3,280 feet). Giant glaciers tower over the channel and occasionally drop loads of ice that crash into the crystal-clear waters below. Fierce tidal currents often clog the passage with pack ice and bergs, so the channel is sometimes blocked for southbound ships. But fortunately we’re not the only travelers here: Orca, humpback, and minke whales often show up on this dramatic waterway too...
