A Zodiac trip near Pleneau
Island
Amazing icebergs
Usually we had two
landings per day
There were hundreds of
seals and penguins swimming in the water
About 90% of an iceberg is
below the surface of the water
Port Lockroy, a British
research station until January 16, 1962
Famous drawings in Port
Lockroy, now museum and Post Office
For cooking, they
obviously used fresh, local ingredients
Back onboard the Ushuaia.
Our home for 10 days
Gentoo penguins and Blue
eyed shag
Jougla Point
I was here in November
2015 and I had no idea there was a whale skeleton
Skua trying to snach a
baby penguin
This time skua was
succesful
Before skua could feed on
the penguin, it was chased away by giant petrel
Little penguin's parent
came too late
A sad moment for the
penguin. But I guess the petrel also had babies to feed
Orne Harbour - the only
continental landing during this trip to Antarctica
Walking to the top of the
rigde
Orne Harbour
All landings are made by
Zodiacs
Chinstrap penguin looking
down on the Ushuaia
Chinstraps have a colony
in Orne Harbour
Zodiacs take us back to
the Ushuaia
Deception Island - our
last landing
This island is the caldera
of an active volcano
This site is called
Telefon Bay
At the end we visited
Pendulum Cove
Time to try Polar Plunge!
Leaving Antarctica. It was
an amazing trip!
