Antarctica Photos

My parents have just got back from a four week trip via boat to Antarctica and various sub-antarctic islands. For some strange reason they forgot to take me with them, but they did bring me back a t-shirt and some photos.

For those who like photos of penguins, seals and lots of ice, I’ve attached a few below.

A huge colony of royal penguins.

The ship in ice. On the journey it got further south than any other ship has ever managed thanks to a change in the ice flows.

More photos after the break.

Penguins practising marching for the next bluebird chips ad.

A split in the ice. You do not want to be on the wrong side when it splits off!

Penguin Sex!

Sea Lion Fight!

Gilligan’s Island for penguins.

A great photo of Antarctica in summer.
