Here are the full-sized photos that were taken by George. Just scroll down to see all of the photos. The last photo is of George.


Two lone passengers dressed in bright red parkas that are given at the beginning of the Antarctica cruise  find a spot aft to check out the bergs and mountains. Photo by George Bailey.


This is one of the many volcanic mountains that emerge from the Southern Ocean as we pass near the South Shetland Islands.  Photo by George Bailey.


It's not hard to spot the passenger that choose to wear his own parka as others on the starboard side of the ship strain their necks
for sightings of whales, icebergs, penguins and mountains. Photo by George Bailey.


The MV Discovery gingerly finds its way through the icebergs that float in the Sothern Ocean off the banks of the Antarctica Continent. Photo by George Bailey.


This is one of the largest icebergs sighted on our trip. Our escort told us the berg was about 8 times larger below the water then above the water line!.
The bluer the water  where it enters the water means the older the iceberg. Photo by George Bailey.

 

The quiet beauty of the area gives one a feeling of peace as the ship gently glides by the incredible scenery of Antarctica. Photo by George Bailey.

George Bailey is a modern day adventurer. He's a bachelor who's continuously visiting different parts of the world. He says being on his own gives him more flexibility to travel at a moments notice. For the past 10 years he's been writing and photographing  articles for newspapers and magazines. George has published five books filled with lots of information and photographs.  One of them on Marilyn Monroe. He's a past director and member of the Travel Media Association of Canada. George likes to say that life is only a click of the fingers and that we should enjoy it while we can. He intends to do just that. His photographs are available for sale, but if it's for your own enjoyment he'd rather e-mail you free j-pegs. Incidentally, the name of his company is " It's A Wonderful Life Productions." Figures!

Life's tough, but someone has to write about these adventures. A fellow adventure took this snapshot with me aft of ship near the end my visit to Antarctica.
