Alpenglow Gletscherspitzen Hughes Bay Antarktis / HUGHES BAY, Antarktis — Alpenglow fängt die Gletscherspitzen der Antarktischen Halbinsel oberhalb der Hughes Bay, während die Sonne am Horizont weidet. In diesen Breitengraden während des austral-Sommers zeichnet die Sonne einen niedrigen Bogen um den Himmel, anstatt scharf unterzugehen, und erzeugt stundenlanges goldenes Licht über die eisbedeckten Berge von Graham Land.

Photograph by David Coleman. The Antarctic Peninsula is a narrow, glaciated arm of the continent extending northward toward the tip of South America, flanked on the west by the sheltered waters of the Gerlache Strait and its associated channels and harbors. The Gerlache Strait, discovered and charted by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition under Adrien de Gerlache aboard the *Belgica* between 23 January and 12 February 1898, separates the Danco Coast of Graham Land from the islands of the Palmer Archipelago. The expedition's crew included Roald Amundsen as first mate and the American physician Frederick Cook; after exploring the strait the *Belgica* pushed south and became the first ship to overwinter in Antarctica, locked in pack ice from late February 1898 until early 1899. Among the strait's most celebrated features is the Lemaire Channel, an 11-kilometer (7-mile) passage between Booth Island and the Kyiv Peninsula, barely 600 meters (about 1, 970 feet) wide at its narrowest, first navigated by the *Belgica* in December 1898 and nicknamed "Kodak Gap" for its cliff-and-glacier scenery. De Gerlache named the channel for Charles Lemaire (1863–1925), a Belgian army officer and Congo explorer. The region supports large colonies of gentoo penguins, humpback whales, Cape petrels, and some of the most intensely blue glacial icebergs on Earth.
