New Bransfield House 2
With me hard at work fixing the window flashings. On a Sunday afternoon!!

Lovely weather....
For penguins. 50 knot winds never stopped us from grafting, not for the want of trying anyway!

Jolley Boys Outing 3
J-Blo, Whoosh, Lenny and myself getting ready to set of in the boats

Out Boating
You get a good idea of scale from this picture. Its hard to describe just how massive these lumps of ice are.

Elephant Seal huddle
The big fellas getting cosy around the hut.

Peek-a-boo
Playing hide and seek in amongst the ice.

Furrys
A couple of Antarctic fur seals checking out the job.

RRS James Clarke Ross
Our big red taxi waiting to take us away.

21 Hardy souls
All the winter staff line up to wave us off before they enter 5 months of solitude.

The Gullet
Sailing in perfect conditions through the gullett

Weddell Seal....
"wh..wh.what the?? Get away from my house you big strange red thing!!"

Hmmmmm..
these mountains remind me of something nice.

Blocked passage
This bottleneck is usually about 100m wide. You can see a huge iceberg on the right slowing things down a bit.

Chilling on the Monkey Deck
Best place for us workers anyway, monkey deck!

Safely up the passage.
If only i could say that more often.

Humpback Whales

So Many Questions
In Antarctica I thought it was like super cold, how are you playing football and stuff in those weather conditions?…and why are there so many penguins…they are like swarming everywhere…and are the houses you live in heated, like that “New Bransfield House” ?.
