Hello everyone! Well, I finally saw my first penguin, albeit the encounter was anti-climactic. This morning a few of us decided a hike out to hut point to check for penguins and penguins are what we found. The image I have is of two Adelie penguins napping or something. Totally boring. My peers have tales of Adelies playing with each other and “dancing” and following them; I have Adelies taking a nap. Oh well, discouraged I am not, I’m highly confident from here on out penguins will be a regular site on station. Last week the icebreaker, the Oden, came in and busted all the ice out of the bay. It was pretty cool to watch the vessel chug around and stomp out some ice. Other than that, things have been going pretty well. It’s a little warmer here than it is back home. The work weeks have been flying by. All in all, things have been going well.

Spectacular shot of Castle Rock.
This continent is one big cooler...By the way, if you ever get the chance, drink Speights. Damn good Kiwi beer.
I just love this shot of the sea ice busting out.
Two Adelies chillin'
