You mean Antarctica, or MetaFilter? Or both?
Some lovely photos, especially (for me) the ones without people in them. I like how these pictures aren't all amped and flashy: just good old fashioned, quiet phtography that doesn't try to dazzle you. The photos simply let the place speak for itself. Very refreshing.

Cool.
I was wondering whether that tall ship had been trapped there for hundreds of years stacked with icy corpses; it turns out it's the Europa.
I like all photographs from Antarctica, but I don't understand the choice of black and white for these; Antarctica is stark and colorless and contrasty enough as it is. I tend to respect photographers a lot less when they switch to monochrome to make their images "arty".

I always suspected Australia was dark, grey, and grainy.

(Australia is bright, yellow, and sharp. As we all know.)

Once all that ice melts this is going to be prime real estate. Someone will want to own it.

We could chalk it up to the new-server jitters. The picture brought to mind the poem.
