Marty’s photos of the day #4556: So for most of last week and part of this week our furnace was out, necessitating a part to be flown in from Sweden. The furnace is now working again, but at 6:00 a.m. this morning heavy snow caused a tree to fall on a nearby powerline, leaving Deb […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4514: This tail belongs to a gray whale named Indigo (read on to learn how I know that). While working on my first book, Cool Creatures, Hot Planet: Exploring the Seven Continents, Deb and I experienced multiple close-up humpback whale encounters off the coast of Antarctica. The whales would approach […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4454: With only a few exceptions, each of my photos of the day features a picture that I’ve never posted before. That means, unless I return to Antarctica, I will eventually run out of penguin photos to post. But not today! Here’s an Adélie penguin.
Marty’s photo of the day #4447: A gentoo parent (could be a male or female) watches over his/her sleeping chick, along the coast of Antarctica.
Marty’s photo of the day #4421: Last night, Deb and I discussed whether we would take a ride in the Titan submersible to see the Titanic shipwreck if given the chance. We both agreed we’d do it, but not for the $250,000 per-person fee. Perhaps if OceanGate removed one of the zeros from the price […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4414: A south polar skua watches over a penguin colony, on a tiny island, just off the coast of Antarctica.
Marty’s photo of the day #4411: Huge scientific discovery! Gentoo penguins are the only animal species, other than humans, that enjoy going for walks with an invisible friend. (Photographed just off the coast of Antarctica)
Marty’s photo of the day #4401: Gentoo penguins in the fog. (Photographed just off the coast of Antarctica)
Marty’s photo of the day #4322: Crossing the stormy Drake Passage, between Antarctica and South America. Wait? Did I say Stormy? Stormy! Stormy! Stormy! Stormy! Stormy! Stormy! I dedicate today’s photo to a true American hero. Thank you, Stormy Daniels, for your service. (And your hilarious tweets.)
Marty’s photo of the day #4307: I’m having a very busy day today. And many of you know what that means: a penguin photo! I opened up my Antarctica photo file and this was quite literally the first penguin photo I saw that I haven’t posted before. These are gentoo penguins.
Marty’s photo of the day #4305: Having posted over four thousand “photos of the day,” with the goal of never posting the same photo twice, sometimes I have to really think to remember if I’ve posted a particular photo. Icebergs are especially difficult. I know I’ve shown this iceberg before, but I don’t think I’ve […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4304: That awkward moment when the child is bigger than the parent and still wants to be fed. Gentoo penguins, photographed off the coast of Antarctica.
Marty’s photo of the day #4292: Here’s a humpback whale, comin’ right at ya! (Photographed off the coast of Antarctica)
