Hello fellow Steemians!

Welcome to my 7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge - Tuesday of Antarctica and World´s Oceans - where the winner of the weekly round will be able to participate for the total of 200 SBD!

Today, you can participate by submitting your personal pictures from your travels to the continent of Antarctica. I am also adding World´s Oceans to the same challenge to allow more Steemians to compete in this contest.

See the winner of the last week´s Tuesday of Antarctica and World´s Oceans @narchuk with the following entry:

Hidden Gold of the Caribbean. Only by spending a lot of time underwater do you understand how sea treasures really look. It has nothing to do with man. It is a natural wealth and beauty. Every spark that flashed in the dark blue bears a part of this treasure. Fish are certainly one of them. Every find among the gently pricking branches of corals brings you joy. And if you stop and listen, you can feel the harmony of the sea. Bonaire Island, Caribbean Sea.

Concrete Jungle, Hongkong. I took this shot a few years ago on my stay in Hongkong. The location was on the Victoria Peak (30 min hike for a stunning view) which was absolutely worth visiting.

@vinceboisgard Australian Monday entry:

The opera House and the harbour bridge view from the botanic gardens during night time. Sydney is such a great city and the rock is the place to hang out. The opera house structure is just breathtaking and so intriguing, it is a great architectural piece!

Crystal clear waters of the Caribbean in Tulum, Mexico. Originally known as Zamá (meaning "the place of the rising sun" in the old Mayan language), Tulum was once one of the most important religious and cultural centers of the ancient Mayan civilization in Mexico. These days, it is a very popular tourist spot as the place offers a unique combination of impressive ancient Mayan ruins and breathtaking beaches with stunningly turquoise water.

I am missing the ocean right now looking at your pic. Looks amazing!

Photo of a jellyfish taken at Atlanta Aquarium (GA, USA). This particular one is a Pacific sea nettle or Chrysaora fuscescens, they lives in the pacific coast of North America. The jellyfish are very common in many shores and usually are poisonous. Many of them have are very colorful. These organisms are carried by the sea currents however they have a system of self propulsion, for that they use their gastric system as a water jet.

At first I have thought you have started under-water photography:)

Well, I have a scuba diving license. But I am not into underwater photography.

Whitehaven Beach Lookout, Queensland

Yesterday I wrote about my experience camping at Whiteheaven beach. I got up early in the morning and walked to the other side of the beach, where I swam through the channel that you can see here. With my camera protected by a waterproof bag, I had this beautiful view for myself for over an hour before the boat tourists started to arrive.

The beautiful blue nuances of the Caribbean, which is undoubtedly the place where you can find the most tropical beaches in the world as well as having some of the most beautiful beaches, this was taken in Curacao one of the most representative islands of this sea and paradise which represents the Caribbean.

Thank you so much for your submission. Kindly stay tuned for the winner announcement coming later on today. Tomas

Thanks friend, I will be attentive.

Dont you wanna jump into this beautiful turquoise sea water. Surrounded by the gorgeous white sands, towering high cliff walls and beautiful lush green nature around. This place is one of a tropical paradise in Nusa Penida. It's called Atuh beach, one of the iconic place in the island. It used to be remote and hard to visit, but nowadays people can just simply walk down the stairs to enjoy the view and swim in this ocean.

World's oceans.

The harlequin ghostpipe fish, a beautiful creature of the ocean.
They are a master of camouflage, so not very easy to find.
I was lucky to find this one in The Indian Ocean. What an unique and elegant animal.

Thank you so much for your entry!


Could be easily considered as some Antarctica landscape, but the truth is this is frozen coastline of the Baltic Sea, Lithuania after pretty long period of negative temperature
Very low shooting angle and very wide angle lens bringing quite unusual overall perspective for the scenery

Dying from the hot Europeans.. enjoy the COLD!

Yep, we could definitely use some of that cold:).... Amazing pic!


One of the most relaxing things that exist is to look at the sea. The sound of the waves crashing on the rocks is fascinating. This beautiful blue sea is from "El Concorde" beach located in Porlamar, Isla de Margarita (Venezuela).

Thank you so much for your participation. Tomas

Thanks to you, Tomas. It is a pleasure.

I shot this photo on one of the beaches in "Banda Aceh City" which is the "Gampoeng Jawa" Beach.

a little of my explanation about this one beach.
"Gampoeng Jawa" is the coastal city of Banda Aceh, this beach existed after the 2004 Tsunami that hit Aceh, this beach also crowded visitors when the weekend arrived and on this beach Fishermen's activities and sunset is a view that is always presented to visitors.

Warm regards @czechglobalhosts

The sea is a very important source of life on earth.
Even the inhabitants on the edge of the coast make the sea a place to survive.
So let us together look after the sea as best we can.
This is my work that I captured in the sea "Lhoknga Aceh Besar".
