Antarctica -- October-November 2010

The building is the former main building of the British base. It's now museum, post office, souriver shop, etc.

At this place, the rule about not approaching closer to 15 feet from a penguin was changed to don't approach closer than 5 feet. There were a LOT of penguins on a VERY small island. They have penguins apparently living under the building. The sledges in the foreground are museum artifiacts. They are no longer used (in fact, dogs have been banned from Antarctica for a few decades now under the Antarctic Treaty.

Note the Union Jack flying on the island.
