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 @bluebottlefilms with the following entry:

This one is fresh out of the water. Although the waves were small, it allowed me to get right up close to the impact zone. The water was only about half a meter deep so keeping an eye on the sets was important to avoid being flattened on the reef.

@vinceboisgard Australian Monday entry:

My best memories from Australia are these well spent evening sitting around a fire right in the middle of nowhere. Random places in the outback where I decided to spend the night and enjoy the twighlight... A lifetime experience :)

This is another photo from my visit to Split, the second largest city in Croatia, located on the eastern side of the Adriatic Sea. I took this photo while walking up to Marjan Cave Church above the city. The views of the ocean really were spectacular from here!

Yep, some great views Matt! Love that place.

Picturesque landscape and crystal clear waters of Akumal. Located in the heart of the Riviera Maya, about a halfway between Playa del Carmen and Tulum, Akumal is a tiny coastal town whose name means "the land of turtles" in the old Mayan language and there is a good reason for that - the local bay is where you can find the green sea turtles that come there to feed on the sea grass and algae.

That blue is stunning!

That water sure is amazing. It's just shame many parts of the world are being destroyed by the humans and the beaches are the sign of that. But this place is just pristine.

This is a strange variety of tree that growths on slated water and takes the nutrients from the sea; the coconuts some palms and the mangrove also take their nutrient from the sea water. The sea water kills the majority of plants. This photo was taken at Margarita Island (Venezuela) in the Caribbean Sea.

Wow, that sure is an interesting tree! I have never seen one like that before.

The large glacial geography of Antarctica is amazing to see. The scale of the land masses down there are hard to capture but are beautiful to witness. I guess some places are best experience through you own eyes.

Well it sure is and you are lucky you did as not many people will ever do and with the global warming and all the mess we are causing to this planet some things will either change its appearance forever or even disappear.

Yeah I feel pretty lucky to have been down there as it is not something I will ever be able to afford and I agree the predictions are not good.

This picture of a group of Bumphead Parrotfishes was taken at the famous dive site Cape Kri in Raja Ampat. They look similar to Napoleon Wrasses but they can easily be determined by their unique headform.

Not sure how big they are but they sure look pretty big in your image. Thank you so much for sharing with all of us. Tomas



This is the sea on Lhoknga beach. This ocean that faces directly to the Indian Ocean is a place that is visited by many foreign and local tourists. the natural beauty on Lhoknga beach is very beautiful at sunset. And this is a tourist destination that must be visited if you go to Aceh

Thank you so much for your participation in the contest and this wonderful image.

When I travel around the main island of the Kingdom of Tonga called Tongatapu, I didn't expect many different kinds of blue. We found this hidden beach on the north of Tongatapu, near the village of Niutoua, in Heketa.

I just love hidden places like this one! Have a good one.

Gampong Jawa beach is the most beautiful beach to enjoy the sunset in the afternoon, the only beach of Banda Aceh City. In addition, Gampong Jawa is also famous it's beautiful sunset to be seen. The many sunset hunters are arriving to photograph the sunset here. So many people come here to weekend with their family.

What a stunner! It sure is not hard to see what get people attracted that much. Have a good one. Tomas

Enjoying the sunset accompanied by the sparkle of colors that are present after the rain subsides giving a color that is so beautiful and can always spoil the eyes.
The sun from the west produces a combination of colorful sparkles that are so beautiful and amazing that all eyes are fixed on it.

Oh, just love that sunset reflection in the water. Well done!

Pretty busy day at work, but closer to sunset decided to to take small ferry to other side of the gulf to Curonian Spit. There is couple kilometers walk to the perfect and almost empty sandy beach to shoot some nice seascapes. The photo above is from today's shooting. Baltic Sea coast at its best! Enjoy

The main beach at Point Lookout on Stradbroke Island, Australia is just beautiful !
There is hardly anyone on this 33 km stretch of beach, it has some really great surf if you have the skills. There is an amazing walk around the cliffs of the island here as well, this is where I took this photo :)

Beautiful shot of whale country!!

Beach of the Tejita
Do not miss it if you are from Tenerife !!!
Absolutely beautiful beach. We started our day walking in the nearest beach called Playa el Medano, which is mainly for surfers. Then we hiked to Montana Roja and ended our day watching the sunset at Playa La Tejita and it was absolutely beautiful.

Wild Ocean in New Zealand

If I had to choose one country to take photos of oceans, it would be New Zealand! In few other places of the world the beauty and power of oceans is as visible as here.

This shot overlooking Coolum in Queensland, Australia was taken from the main lookout area just before the start of spring. I had forgotten to take my camera and had to use my cheap pre-paid phone (Oppo.)
I highly recommend visiting the North Coast area of Queensland if you get the chance, there is quiet a few spots as nice as this one!
Peaceful Travels,
Sam.

I took this shot exactly one month ago when I was at the seaside in my neighbor country Croatia. Region of Dalmacija is one of the nicest coastal area I have seen. Been there more than 15 time, but can’t wait to go again…

Playing hide and seek with an octopus. I met this little guy while snorkelling in the Mediterranean sea. A few seconds after the photo, it escaped under the rocks to hide never to come out.

Hi Tomas aka @czechglobalhosts, Thanks for sharing about Stephen P Kendal. He's definitely doing an excellent job by bringing the artists to Steemit. I fully agree with you that Steem price goes up or down based on the content that we share on this platform. So, having more users means having potentially more content and obviously quality is the key. I just followed him at Steemit and at Twitter as well and shared this post with my followers.

Excellent work. You guys are awesome.

Steem On!

He sure does! His support of Steemit is outstanding.

Honopu Kauai

It doesn't get anymore secluded and remote than Honopu Beach on Kauai's Na Pali Coast. No road or even a hiking trail leads to it. In fact, the only legal way to access it is to swim to it.

Perfect A-frame peak in Indian Ocean somewhere in North Sumatra, Indonesia. Both right and left are barreling but the left is shorter.
