Telefon Bay
Deception Island. South Shetlands. Off Antarctic Pennisula.
Telefon Bay. This is taken standing on the glacier, which curves around on the left hand side of this photo. The small boat is entering the bay. The Fram is probably hidden behind the arm of the glacier at right center of this photo. The swimming was done from the little spit of black "sand" (glacial deposit) just to the right of where the small boat is. If you look closely, there seems to be some people standing there, and possibly also some of the equipment the expedition team brought ashore for the landing. The young seals were in that area too.
