After a relaxing morning at Ocean Harbour we climbed back up the valley to the Col that we had come over on Friday. Leaving Tommy at the bottom Rob and I headed for an unnamed peak to the South. We soon removed our snow shoes and front pointed up the ridge to a point where we couldn’t make it any higher or so we thought.

After attempting a few gulleys we found our way up to a small rock outcrop which we sat on and enjoyed the amazing views out to the Southern Ocean the east coast of the Barff. The sun gleamed on the Nordenskol Glacier to the South, to the North we could see back to base on the Thatcher and the Busen Peninsula with Jason Harbour in Cumberland West Bay. The moutains of South Georgia could be seen for 10’s of miles with such great visibility.

We headed back to Sorling at a fast pace as the boys wanted to go for a ski and snowboard but I wasn’t too into the snow conditions so stayed at Sorling.

As we had brought some firewood I built a fire pit lining it with stones from the beach and read my book enjoying the view to the Nordenskol. Lighting the fire we attempted to watch a sunset but at -10 and with the wood merely smouldering and refusing to burst into some warming flames we decided to call it a day. The leading lights into KEC blinked away as the rest of base enjoyed the normal saturday night three course meal. Another early night for us.
