Antarctica -- October-November 2010

This is an area where all of the homes have river frontage (and private docks -- it seemed like a well-to-do area). Because of the way the rivers cut across the land, for many of these home, it is more convenient to access the home by boat than by streets. This is a floating grocery store (a water-borne peddler). If the homeowner wants the "store" boat to stop, they have a way of signaling by hanging something off the end of their private dock.

We saw several family dogs (watchdogs?) laying on the docks for individual homes, just watching boats go by.
