Scott Base Pressure Ridges

On October 30, we went on a photo adventure out to Scott Base to photograph the nearby Pressure Ridges. Pressure Ridges are areas that sea ice meets the ice shelf with a lot of tidal pressure, causing some ice formations to rise. They're full of intricate shapes, both small and large, and are fun to walk through - kind of like a maze.

Also, are you catching on to the color scheme here? White, blue, and brown. Aside from Blood Falls, that's about it! The sun is always shining and it's pretty intense light, which makes for some lovely deep blue shadows, but I'd love to come across some flowers and trees right about now!
