There are about 20 of us with British Antarctic Survey (BAS) going on the James Clark Ross (JCR) to Rothera. From there some fly back to the UK, some stay on the JCR (me included), some are staying in Rothera for weeks or months, a few are overwintering – spending the next 16 months on the frozen continent. After arriving in the Falkland Islands on Monday afternoon we had free time until
Thursday morning, when we join the JCR to prepare to head South, so we went penguin bothering!
Although I just have a cheap compact camera lots of people have proper cameras; I will add some of their photos when I get them but see frictionvelocity for more in the meantime.
