Nice shot!

The icebergs shown on this photograph are probably the same as the ones shown on an illustration in the book published by De Gerlache ('Quinze Mois dans l'Antartique'). De Gerlache dates the illustration as March 1899, thus this photo is likely to have been taken at that moment, too.

I wonder if the photo was taken while Belgica was caught in the ice. I read on Wikipedia they were blocked for one year and they had to carve a waterway for the ship through thick layer of ice of 6 meter for a distance of 75 meters. Impressive !!

Yes, this picture was most likely taken while they were caught in the ice. If you look at the other pictures in the "Belgica"-set, you will see their attempt to carve their way out of the ice.
