The report, as filed
I was on an Antarctica cruise and we were approaching what I believe is Deception Island. I was outside on deck taking pictures and took this picture. I did not notice until I returned home and was looking at my pictures that it captured 5 unusual atmospheric anomalies. I made a copy of the picture (both are attached) and on the 2nd picture I circled, with a magnifier, the anomalies. [NUFORC annotation: Camera Anomaly - Certain]
