Views of Nordenskol, Neumayer and Lyell Glaciers, out to sea and base all from this peak. As we had lunch and surveyed the Thatcher Peninsula a snow petrel glided effortlessly around the peak. Unfortunately Tommy strained a groin muscle somehow so we weren&#8217;t able to continue to Hodges and back home by a different route. <\/p>\n<p>I stopped in to chat with the climbers on Pelagic Australis (they just did the Shackleton Traverse) as they were washing all their gear at the jetty and had a piece of birthday cake after looking around the boat. It is a well put together expedition yacht as one would expect as it was purpose built for high latitudes sailing. Back in time for a tasty Saturday night dinner and a late night at the bar with the Pelagic crew who came round for after dinner drinks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Another beautiful day.
