Holy cow, this looks really familiar!
I was searching for Antarctica photos on the web and found your trip, and this photo looked awfully familiar. Here are two photos I took: http://www.flickr.com/photos/66248512@N00/5032243744/in/photostream/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/66248512@N00/5031625391/in/photostream/ Mine are the exact same iceberg! Your photo is taken (I think?) March 13th, 2009 - mine are taken the day before. I was on a 12-person sailboat - we hung out at Pleneau Island for about 3 days observing penguins, leopard seals, and icebergs. It's a small world!
