My Antarctic season in 2003-2004

on board M/V NordNorge


Thanks to all of you, sending som digital pictures to me! Without you I would have had to wait for digitalising my slights before I would have been able to publish some impressions of my Antarctic voyage at this site. Nevertheless, you will also find some of my own photographs here later as well.
