My fauvorite picture

I love this picture! I took it in 2005 , during an archaeological expedition to the Antarctica.

The picture was taken in a Chilean camp site, based in the Rugged island, an isolated place in the South Shetland  island.

It was a during a calm night, with few clowds when I could see the beatifull sunset in the horizon,  incredible!

There is a long travel to get the Rugged island, starting in Punta Arenas city. First you take the military Chilean “Hercules” airplane to the Frei Base in the kind George island; then we continue in a Chilean navy until you get near the island; finally, an helicopter leaved us with the load on the Rugged island.

During our 21th day expedition, we survey the island, walking fifteen kilometer a day, looking for historic places.

The antarctic has beautiful lanscapes, with a lot of wild life and untouched places.

This place brings me back many memories. It was my first  extreme expedition, very important for me, because my dream fulfillment. Now this picture is part of my life.
