| Andrill the Haglund was our transport for a day out and about |
 |
| Cape Royds. Adeli penguin colony in the distance with Shackleton's hut from 1907 in the foreground. More penguin and hut pics to come... |
 |
| Thousands of miles from the tropics in a world of ice and enjoying a banana for lunch. |
 |
| A fat lazy seal is briefly curious about our presence but soon returns to basking in the sun. |
 |
| All wrapped up. Interesting rock formation in the background and the lines in the ice show where it broke up last year but didn't actually melt away and so has frozen back together. In about 2 weeks it will no longer be possible to travel on the ice to Cap Royds and Cape Evans. |

| Walking up to the Adeli penguin colony |
 |
| One of the science camps on the ice taking ice samples and studying bacteria. |
 |
| Entering a very "cool" ice cave... |
 |
| Amazing crystals hang in icicles all around |
 |
| Really difficult to photograph well but here a little light filters through |
 |
| Looking a little startled!! There was even an ice slide from one cavern to the next! Getting back was a little tricky and involved launching yourself head first back up the slide... |
