Your Scene: A splash of color in the Antarctic

Barbara Hartl was on an expedition to Antarctica in February when she came upon the Almirante Brown Antarctic Base, an Argentine research station on the Antarctic Peninsula.

“What caught my eye was the bright red building,” said Hartl. “So much of Antarctica is without much color, so this scene was in sharp contrast to the usual view.”

The Orange resident, who’s now been to all seven continents, used a Canon EOS Digital Rebel XSi.
