The scale and awesome power of the traveling wonder of Antarctica are difficult to capture. Huge clumps of ice break off from this glacier dwarfing the zodiac load of travelers admiring this white wonderland. The zodiac maintains a safe distance (it is over 500 meters away) and seeks sanctuary behind a smaller berg as large waves from carving ice can easily up-turn a rubberized boat. Even in buoyancy vests, life expectancy in the near-freezing water is only a few minutes.
