Lemaire Channel is 11km long, 150m deep, and 700m wide at the narrowest. The sheltered waters are usually as still as a lake, and mirror-like reflection of mountain landscapes and icebergs are spectacular. It is well known as one of the most photogenic waterways in the world, and is often referred to as “Kodak Gap” because of its beauty that makes it a photographer’s paradise.

Having your wide angle lens ready as you are just a few hundred meters away from the spectacular mountains. Symmetrical composition often works well with reflection, as all the images in this post, because the balance between two equally visual weight objects create harmony atmosphere and the sense of aesthetic.

Keep your eyes alert for interesting and unexpected foreground. Image 1 was taken at the moment entering Lemaire Channel, the large area of brash ices forming a curve surrounding the reflection. This moment just stay for a few seconds, so you have to aware of it and react immediately. Image 2 make use of the floating ices as leading line that creating the depth and bring the viewer eyes into the scenery.
