“It’s just a jump to the leftAnd then a step to the rightPut your hands on your hipsYou bring your knees in tight” Marty’s photo of the day #4064: Gentoo penguins, photographed on a tiny island off the coast of Antarctica.
Marty’s photo of the day #4063: I’ve been posting a lot of photos from Montana lately, so I think it’s time to go back and post some photos from around the world for a while. Here’s one from Antarctica. The following excerpt, from my first book, Cool Creatures, Hot Planet: Exploring the Seven Continents, explains […]
Marty’s photo of the day #3990: Most people will scroll past this photo, not realizing what they are missing. It’s more than just the coast of Antarctica. If you look closely, you will see two humpback whales (the tail of one and the humpback of another).
Marty’s photo of the day #3970: This photo is from one of the most magical moments of Deb’s and my seven continents of adventures. We had climbed a glacier along the coast of Antarctica, and as we were looking down on the penguins, huge snowflakes began falling.

Marty’s photo of the day #3926: I shot this photo of our tiny ship, the Professor Multanovskiy, from the shore of Antarctica.

Marty’s photo of the day #3904: I shot this photo while crossing the Drake Passage, between Antarctica and South America. The Drake Passage is known for having the roughest seas in the world. During this storm, thirty foot waves were crashing the bow of our little ship and splashing the window up on the bridge. […]
Marty’s photo of the day #3894: I have a ton of iceberg photos on my hard drive from Deb’s and my Antarctica expedition. Here’s one I haven’t posted before.
Marty’s photo of the day #3892: Very few photos give me the feeling this one does. It was three in the morning, and everyone was asleep on our ship, including the captain (the ship was running on autopilot). I knew we were approaching Antarctica, so I slipped out of bed and walked out onto the […]
Marty’s photo of the day #3886: Molting female elephant seals. I think the one on the left looks like Lindsey Graham. I am open to suggestions for the one on the right. (Photographed on Antarctica)
Marty’s photo of the day #3864: I am so fucking sick of moronic, selfish anti-vaxxers and anti-maskers that I could scream like an elephant seal! It’s time to require proof of current vaccinations for admittance into all stores, all public transportation, all schools, all sports venues, all concert venues, and anywhere else groups of people […]
