(always) Learning to See ...

February 09 2012

SOUTH 03 Deception Island (62°57’S, 60°38’W), Baily Head on the outside of the caldera of the volcano that last erupted in 1967-1970. It is part of the South Shetland Islands off the Antarctic Peninsula and home to more than 100000 pairs of Chinstrap Penguins. One of the things that brought me back down SOUTH is the way the landscape belongs to the creatures and sometimes is the creatures. We were lucky to land here due to the fantastic work of our expedition staff who worked hard to make the landing on the steep beach possible using eight people to hold the zodiacs in the swell. Then we sailed into the caldera itself! By the way it’s quite a hike up to that ridge from the beach. I was puffed, and I don’t have webbed feet. These creatures are really amazing.
