More hikes and Palmer Station pictures.


A beautiful Antarctic sunrise. Looks like a leopard seal.

Hiking the backside of the Marr Glacier. There has been a large glacial loss since I was last here six months ago. 


The Antarctic continent is about 10 miles away. The mountains look eerie through the mist. 
The rigid hull inflatable boat (RHIB) Hadar pulled out for the winter.

A beautiful day on station.

Station backyard and Marr Glacier in the background.

The winterover's hall of fame with pictures of 50 years of winter crews.


Our 2018 picture is now hanging there. The carpenter made this fantastic frame depicting the station. I am in the back row fifth from the left.

A cool berg drifting by.

The chef asked me what my favorite dessert is. Just like my mom used to make - not too creamy or sweet.

A Saturday hike to Bonaparte the land to the left of Hero Inlet and the station.

Palmer Station on the far left.

Another cool berg.

The end of Hero Inlet.
