One of the blocks used to deploy equipment over the side. Them being all iced up was a feature of this cruise, and made for some beautiful photos
Marguerite Bay pancake ice. The island in the distance is Adelaide Island.
Iced in. We got some good ice this trip (prettier than pancakes, but not too thick to make trouble), the ship had to "waggle" to make a hole in the ice at the stern so we could deploy equipment. This shot is off the back, you can see the hole starting to be made. Why this photo is smaller than the others....I have no idea!
Everything all frosty!
Sunrise, we only had 3hrs of sunshine at our most southerly site, but the weather was perfect and clear, meaning we had 3hrs of sunrise/sunset each day, beautiful.
Our stop at Potters Cove. Gentoo penguin looking very cute.
Not photoshop I promise. The Gentoo line up! 
Stian and I in front of the gentoo penguin colony....
Taking a zodiac tour of Potters cove, there were some spectacular glaciers to be seen, even though the weather wasn't great...
The ship in the cove and a mossy rock up front. Yes, moss in the Antarctic, pretty neat huh....
Taking in the view. Ahhhhhh, it was so nice to be on land for a few hours.....

What wonderful photos! It is such fun to travel with you vicariously! And of course I love the one of you and Stian. Can you send us a jpeg version so we can print it out?
