Torres del Paine is another geological wonder of this region! Although the weather was a bit harsh, I was just amazed to see the granitic laccolith with my own eyes. Kudos: herds of guanacos and a puma

Following #ISAES2025 I have embarked from Puerto Natales to discover the Serrano and Balmaceda glaciers with a fantastic group of Antarctic geologists. The glacial landscape and the geology in the Magallanes region of Chile 🇨🇱 are breathtaking 🤩🏔️🧊❄️

Yesterday I was among the lucky few who enjoyed a guided tour of the new Chilean ice breaker “Almirante Viel” and the onboard scientific facilities #ISAES2025 in Punta Arenas 🇨🇱

Who wants to see waterfalls inside an ancient lava lake? Well… who doesn’t?
This is the Ray-Pic waterfall in Ardèche (SE France). Beautiful columnar jointing in a Pleistocene basanite full of mantle xenoliths 🤩⚒️

How beautiful is Tassie?! 🇦🇺
Back from Antarctica I took a couple days off to explore parts of southern Tasmania with some mates (in Mount Field NP & Maria Island NP). The luxurious forests with fern trees and waterfalls felt like a trip to Carboniferous times.

Happy new year 2025 from Dumont D’Urville station in Adélie Land, East Antarctica… not the best weather for geology though

One of the many pros of the French Riviera are the landscape and geology diversity… and canoeing on the Mediterranean on a sunny winter morning with a view on the snowy Alps
