Moonrise Over an Iceberg

Photo: The moon rises over an iceberg in the Bellingshausen Sea

A massive iceberg juts from the stark expanse of an ice sheet as an orange moon looks on in the Bellingshausen Sea near Antarctica. This sea, part of the Southern Ocean, borders the west side of the Antarctic Peninsula, near South America, and is home to elephant seals and Adélie penguins.
