======================
February 8: Snares Island -
one of the New Zealand sub-antarctic islands
Snares crested penguins, they live only here
======================
February 14: At Sea -
on the Southern Ocean aboard the Spirit of Enderby
Seven foot plus swells
Outside decks closed to us-Not Safe!
Bridge was fun - took this picture - hang on,
the pitch was like a roller coaster!
=======================
February 16: Cape Adare -
we are at 70.54 degrees south latitude
A view of Cape Adare
Too much pack ice, from a storm, against the shore to land
On way to the Ross Sea, will try again on our return
======================
February 19: Cape Evans, Antartica -
location of explorer Robert Scott's Terra Nova hut
Adele penguins on our way to the hut
Our vessel Spirit of Enderby is in the distance
Icy, rough zodiac landing
We were in a holding pattern for awhile to see if winds and swells would drop so we could land
Only the most fit were advised to try it - and the hike to the hut
======================
March 1: Campbell Island -
another of the New Zealand sub-antarctic islands
The narrow board trail to the top of the ridge - for views, and albatross, and hiking through tussock grasses
This also shows some of the terrain and our vessel Spirit of Enderby in the distance
Some sun today and not as cold as Antarctica!
This was taken at the beginning of the trail -
we hiked up for 45-50 minutes
======================
March 1: Campbell Island -
Bay (of) Campbell Island
View as we hiked up the narrow board trail to be with the albatrosses and view the lovely scenery
A bit of sun today
More later . . .
