ADELIE PENGUIN
ADELIE
GENTOO stealing stones to improve its nest.
A PASTIME THEY ALL ENJOY
A SIMPLE NEST OF LOOSE STONES AND NOT VERY HYGENIC.
THE KELP GULL IS THE ONLY GULL IN THIS AREA.
GENTOO ON ICE
I AM COMING IN.
ADELIES PRESENT A UNITED FRONT
WHO IS GOING IN FIRST?

JUMP
MADE IT
-SLIP SLIDING AWAY.
ARE YOU FOLLOWING ME?
ICE IN THE BAY

The next port of call was Deception Island an extinct volcano of immense proportions,it must have been one hell of a bang when it exploded leaving a large sea filled crater.
ITS GETTING COLDER
DECEPTION ISLAND-It was too windy to land here so we did a complete circuit of the lagoon before heading back out to sea,by now the wind was howling through and we were confined indoors,watching the spume and spray engulf the ship.
LIGHT ICING AT DECEPTION ISLAND
AN ISOLATED HUT
REMAINS OF THE OLD WHALING STATION SURVIVE - JUST.
OLD OIL TANKS.
-Towards evening the storm blew itself out..
=
THE SPRAY HAD FROZEN ON THE DECKS
I LIKE ICICLES.
SUNSET IN THE WEDDEL SEA.
TOMORROW IS ANOTHER DAY.
