After spending a few days hopping around a few historically important islands and sailing through much of the Weddell sea, we finally landed on the continent. That makes number 7 for me and 4 for Becky. This landing was not as easy as many of the islands as there was no beach. Further, in order to investigate the local Chinstrap penguin colony we had a very steep climb to make (the descent was even more dangerous). We were rewarded with some beautiful views and some baby penguins. It was quite windy at the top and very cold. In these pictures you will see one of me at the base of the climb, one of Becky and me at the top of the climb, two pictures of the view from the top of the hill and a picture a few Chinstrap penguins at the top.
What an experience! Cindy has been dying to go and these pictures are fanning the fire. Unfortunately, I don't function below 50 degrees. Any chance those cute penguins holiday in Hawaii every now and again???

I find myself a bit jealous of the blue parkas with the kool emblem . . .
