This morning i has been snowing, low fog and clouds but almost now wind. but it hasn´t been much of a scenery for our passengers to see today. we had a good landing at Peterman Island, where amazingly an other 100 000 Gentoo penguins and a few others roam around...
Now we are in the Lemaire channel north-bound to the old British base at Port Lockroy for some more Gentoo penguins and some souvenir shopping...
The landing at Port Lockroy went well, the weather was calm and the sun was almost there. we were greeted by thousands of Gentoo-penguins and some of the girls at the station. This station is only manned for the four summer months and is run by the British Antarctic Heritage foundation, that is restoring old bases and huts from the British claims in Antarctica.
I spent my time at tha landing zone, helping more or less disabled cruise guest on and off our small boats.
Now we are sailing to the northern part of the peninsula, to Brown Bluff in the Antarctic Sound, where i hope we will have some good weather???
The landing will be in the evening, so most of the day will be sailing and i will take care of the reception for a few hours

Hej Bjarki, and Anna - good to 'hear' from you, so to speak...sounds like a great trip in spite of weather. I have been in Ushuaia, I think I know the 'penguin store'....
Hope you have a good voyage in the continuation! Was the thesis accepted??
At www.jonfr.com/volcano/, some news about Hekla...
and have been following Merapi at BigThink/blogs/eruptions, so was interested to hear about the hot springs in Antarctica....safe journeys and send an update when you can!
well my thesis is still not handed in, i am supposed to do that on December 15th and then it goes straight to the sensor&judge and i have a presentation about it in January. As the time has passed by i have found more and more to put into the thesis and less and less time to write about it. but i hope i will manage and end this chapter of my life...
