Antarctica -- October-November 2010

Petermann Island.

There were several penguin rookeries on this island. Also, this building (closed up). I think it is owned by Argentina, and used only occasionally.

The thing to the right of the building (in this view) is a memorial cross for three members of a British survey team who died near here in 1982. I have a vague memory there were also some ruins here from an early expedition (early 1900s), but I did not spot that in any of my photos.

The variety of birds, the dramatic view (especially from up on the hill), and (finally) the sunshire were the main things here.
