Antarctica..

Our Explorer boat gets dwarfed by a large amount of ice and snow behind..


Iceberg ahead...


Antarctic sunset


Parked in ice at 3 am, looking for emperor penguins..(eventually seen, but at a distance)



Follow my leader, penguin style (they are not too keen to jump into the water first because of elephant seals, so there is lots of waiting around to see who jumps first before they all do!)...



March of the (small) penguins..



Finding a bit of Britain at Fort Lockerby Antarctic Heritage Base



Resting on a vocanically warmed beach after a hard couple of hours sightseeing on Elephant Island, a former whaling station (I later cooled down in the icy cold waters of the sea, which was probably not such a good idea in retrospect..)


Relaxing over dinner, which inevitably was always a 3 course affair..
