Really interesting shape showing how the movements of the ice affect different sections differently over the years. They're just SO massive.

This is one of the most beautiful places in the Antarctic, but unfortunately was overcast when we were there. We hiked up the hill to an absolutely amazing 360 view.

D and I with our tent... they took us to the most amazing place which was surrounded by glaciers. You could hear the creaks and crashes of the ice almost constantly... really felt like the middle of nowhere.

Our guide racing after his tent which he didn't anchor down properly.... Quite cold but sweet and cosy at the same time.

This was so cute, the seal was trying to get up on the iceberg and couldn't so he kept swimming around and trying to jump without much success. Finally he gave up and left.

There were giant icebergs on the beach which was kinda surreal... combine with penguins and birds swooping from overhead. We just sat for an hour or so and watched the penguins jumping in and out of the water.. was really fascinating.

Near the whaling boat wreck, a minke whale came to visit us. We watched him swimming round and round, and then came right up under our little boat, and swam up the other side. Was absolutely incredible.
