South Georgia Island

As I was cruising the Southern Ocean, South Georgia Island jumped out at me. Almost quite literally. The clouds spread across the massive sea parted around the island located to the north of the Antarctic Peninsula. Islands can often disrupt the flow of air, and thus, clouds. In this case, South Georgia Island is essentially a rock in the midst of an atmospheric stream, disrupting an otherwise uniform flow of clouds. It was also, incidentally, in the news this week because an iceberg the size of Rhode Island could plow into it.
