Photographers Paradise

 A huge cruise ship came by and hosted a few of the station crew for lunch.

A gang of Gentoo's have been hanging out around station a lot recently.

 Adn a pair of sleepy elephant seals have moved in on our pier.

Bergs out across the harbor being majestic.

Hardly a dull moment around here.

More bergs sneaking up on the harbor.

 A Wilson's Storm Petrel, a small petrel, swoop over the station outfall (sewer outlet). They are the smallest warm-blooded animal that breeds in the Antarctic region.

Setting up for Christmas.

Skua keeping watch over the inlet.

Bergs blocking the entrance to our inlet.

Elephant seal fingernails are a bit disturbing.

Big berg. Little boat.

LMG navigating around the icebergs in the harbor.

 Another amazing sunset!

 Antarctic sunsets are the best! This one was around midnight.

 Almost looks like Monument Valley in Arizona if you didn't know those were icebergs in Antarctica.

I call this one big ben.

More awesome lighting.
