We continue North on the Shack. Unfortunately the visiblity was really poor on the way up the Peninsula so we missed all the amazing views. The Lemaire Channel was a white out as was Port Lockroy. Shame but as I said to everyone at least we hadn’t paid a lot for a cruise and seen nothing! This morning at 7am we were in Whalers Cove at Deception Island. The plan was to launch the small boats and go for a look around the derelict British Base that was closed after the eruption in 1967. Followed by a swim in the cove where the volcanoe vents heat up the water. Unfortunately it was blowing 50 knots when we went through Neptunes Bellows into the caldera. So after a slow cruise around seeing the Spanish and Argentine Bases which are still used as summer only we headed back out to sea for a 6 hour passage to Jubany. <\/p>\n
We are loading on people and cargo at Jubany (German base) this afternoon\/night. Then we will move on to South Georgia and the British base of KEP which is where BAS have offered me a job starting in December for a year. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
