Back to Breaker

This iceberg I call Big Ben.

Big Ben from another angle.
And another angle.
And another angle with some orange lichens.
A giant petrel over station.
They look very archaic.
And majestic.
There is a nice ridge they like to soar back and forth over on breaker so zoom 5 feet over your head when you stand in the right spots.
I like the layers in the ice. Ancient, ancient ice that fell as snow high on some plateau. 
There are two flowering plants in this area. This is one of them, Antarctic Hairgrass.
And this is the other one, Pearl Wort.



Whales!!
We spotted three humpbacks on our way back to station!




What an amazing place to live!
