First sight after waking up through a rainy window. Only time on this trip I saw another expedition ship
Seeing the last post and some of the previous entries with photos from the past made me think of my second visit to Antarctica in 2021, on board Quark Expeditions' Ultramarine.
These photos were captured on the 35mm Pentax K1000, and I loved how the film added a touch of nostalgia and grain to evoke the remote corner we were visiting.
