My office view in the Crystal Desert

I have explored quite a bit of Australia and have worked many, many various jobs and as a result I have had the privilege of having a wide range of office views. From the dry desert of Uluru/Ayers Rock in the middle of Australia, the Daintree, the Great Barrier Reef, Rottnest Island, the coastal waters around Vancouver Island & of late the Crystal Desert that is also known as Antarctica.

A lot of offices have their own views and I am well aware that most people in the working world do not have the view that I am able to enjoy. The simple size of icebergs are impressive and the first one everyone sees gets photographed about a million times and people lose their mind. At this point, they are somewhat unaware of what exactly they are going to be faced with shortly once we arrive at the peninsula. However, to really understand their size and even to correctly judge distances is incredibly difficult without a range finder.

A clear example of this is the second photo. If you look closely you will see there is a very small iceberg in front of the huge, massive chunk of ice. There are tiny little black dots on top of this small iceberg, which are actually penguins. Lots and lots of Gentoo penguins. This kind of gives you bit of a reference to the actual size that some icebergs can be.
