Amazing picture, Kevin! The lenticular wave cloud gliding over the beautiful, majestic, snow-capped mountain peaks of the Allardyce Range, remote sub-antarctic South Georgia Island in the South Atlantic Ocean looks like a vast bird or airplane taking its time to fly vast distances to other parts of the world.
Don’t often see many pictures of remote, sub-antarctic South Georgia Island in the vast South Atlantic ocean in the southern hemisphere and what its mountainous landscape actually looks like. Must have been an amazing experience seeing the island up-close on-board a ship on a rarely seen clear day. From Rebecca Hill, Canberra, Australia
