15th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
The Ice Moon

While traveling in Antarctica within an international expedition organized by the Chilean Antarctic Institute. After two weeks of bad weather, we were blessed by a full moon rising behind an unknown peak. It was half past four in the morning, a very cold time to photograph, but I felt very rewarded.
