Antarctica -- October-November 2010

Cuverville Island.

Even more detailed view of the penguin rookery.

I don't recall what the pyramid-shaped thing was -- an iceberg or snow on a rock on the other side of the ice-choked water. My guess is that it's on land -- that our landing area was on the shore of a small bay, and this is a snow collected on a rock on the opposite side of the bay. It was probably more than a half-mile ride from the ship to the landing point. The ship was not in sight while we were on land. This may have been the only time we were on land out of sight of the ship (there was a time when we were in the boats out of sight of the ship; that comes later).
