Breaker Island

 Giant Petrel following the boat as we moved to the northern boating area to the other island.
 We stopped by a shipwreck that happened many years ago. It was a tourist vessel called the Bahia.
 Station looks pretty small from out on the water in a little boat.
 Good scramble up the side of Breaker from the landing site. The landing sites are marked with orange dots and a ring to clip the bow line too.
 More Giant Petrel nests!
 And a tern nest!
 In the crack to the right there are two brown speckled tern eggs!!!
 Very different perspective of station!!
 There is a surprising amount of mosses, lichens and other simple rock clinging plants.

 Station from another cool angle.
I've named this one tower-berg.
