Neko Harbour Adelie Penguins and Emperor colony





















sugar snow









Neko Harbour, the first landing















after 5 minutes of utter silence... during which we could hear whales and caving ice near and far away.




























greg, first casualty of the trip (and the only one luckily)... but he sustained the injury with unquestionable style and grace.

Arriving at the penguin colony, scout trip




The day was extremely bright... although this ultimately translated into snow blindness for me, we were lucky to have a glorious day of sun to observe the pengies









Our first view of the Emperor Penguin colony
