Antarctic Explorer
"In the middle of this expansive
whiteness, I see a single penguin
making its slow, determined way
downhill. Behind it stretches a
simple trail of footprints—tiny
impressions that mark the only
disturbance on an otherwise
pristine surface. I know that the
Antarctic is immense and that
guests on board the Viking
Octantis will only ever scratch the
surface of this unique continent."
Michael Lewy
Viking World Cruise II
"One of a series of flying fish photos taken
from the deck of the Viking Sky in the Indian
Ocean, 13th March 2025, somewhere
between the Maldives and Seychelles
Islands. The conditions were unique, the
ocean was still and smooth like a mirror
reflecting the colour of the sky and hiding
the horizon, perfect for photographing
these incredibly fast creatures as they skim
above the surface of the water."
