Almirante Brown Base

This was an Argentinean Research Base.

This was near where we got out of the Polar Cirkel boat.  The signpost shows the distances to places like Tokyo, Madrid and New York.

As you can see the penguins don't care at all about their human visitors.
The rest here are just some of the never ending scenics.
 It is true that Pictures and Words really can't describe it.

Cuverville Island


Many MANY penguins!

MS Fram seen from Cuverville Island.

One of my little friends came right up and posed for many pictures.

Twins? or Mr. & Mrs?
They are just too funny, I couldn't stop taking pictures!



On the way back to the ship our Polar Cirkel boat took us for a quick trip through some of the icebergs. Amazing shapes.

More coming soon!
