Once through the channel we anchored near Booth Island amid a crowd of icebergs and after a welcome breakfast headed off on a Zodiac cruise in search of wildlife and to get some more intimate views of the bergs from water level. This gave an opportunity to capture some images of icebergs with a Zodiac and passengers in the frame to give a sense of scale. None of of these icebergs were terribly large \u00a0but without something of known size for comparison it is hard to get an impression of their size.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2442\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2442\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.tonywhitehead.com\/wildlight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/IcebergZodiacBoothIsland_D813409-web.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2442\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.tonywhitehead.com\/wildlight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/IcebergZodiacBoothIsland_D813409-web.jpg?resize=800%2C533&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Zodiac approaching an arched iceberg.
