I'll just shut up

We arrived at Rothera today - almost our final destination - only a little further south and then we turn for home. I'm running out of time again, but there is little to be said about the last two days. Not because it wasn't interesting - just because I do not have the words.

We've collected Peter, had a cocktail party on the top deck (brrrr), all the while sailing down the Peninsula. I'm not going to describe it. The pictures don't even do it justice. Enough said.

My first sighting of Antarctica - Elephant Island and a couple of big bergs in the gloom.

The coldest cocktail party I've ever been to.

The view I awoke to at 3am. Simply stunning.

Adelie penguins on an iceberg running for cover as a big red ship goes by.

An avalanche in the Gerlache Strait.
