Winter Sunset at Cape Lookout - Elephant Island

South Shetland Archipelago, Artarctica.
Cape Lookout is located in the extreme southwest of this deserted and inhospitable island, covered in ice, or bare rocks where not even ice accumulates. Colonies of the brave Chinstrap penguins on the rocks, Albatrosses and Giant Petrels in the air represent the most visible life forms in this place uninhabited by humans (Find a bird on the right third of the image). On another cape of this island Sir Ernest Shackleton and his men sought shelter in 1916, after the -now famous- sinking of the ENDURANCE.
(It was difficult to keep one hand without the appropriate glove for extreme cold, in order to handle the camera, under Antarctic wind and very negative temperature. After one and a half hours of shooting on the Zodiac Cruise, I needed a slow and painful wash with warm water upon returning to the cabin.)
Those men were absurdly tough.
