Neko Harbor was one of the larger glaciers we visited. We were not allowed to linger along the beach here, because the glacier had been very active, producing waves of 15 feet up the shore.

A perfectly calm, icy anchorage at Neko Harbor.

If you knew how hard it was climbing in 3-4 layers of clothing and these big clown boots, you would appreciate the fact that those dots behind me are people, not penguins! (Roommate is behind me, I don't have four feet!)

I liked the layering of scenery in this photo...

This Gentoo parent (parent because both males and females sit on the nest) is trying to hatch both an egg and a chick. This late in the year, hatching of the egg is not possible, and the chick is doubtful.

Penguin chicks just "fall out" for a nap wherever they are, often times on top of each other.

This parent is trying to raise two chicks. Again, slim chance of survival because most chicks are already fledglings, independent from parents.

This is a Gentoo nesting area with lots of chicks and parents still roosting. Note penguin's nests are made from small rocks. They often steal rocks from another nest, as there are not enough rocks. This is why rock collecting is forbidden by IAATO tre

Whale skeleton that had been erected by Jacques Cousteau's team in the sixties. Jougla Point.

Port Lockroy, former British station established during Operation Tabarin during Britain's WWII attempt to lay territorial claim to Antarctica. It is now a museum, and Southernmost post office in the world, processing 50,000 postcards each year.

Incredible "fire sky" sunset, of which photos cannot do justice.
