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.

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.

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

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!
