Antarctic

Can you imagine winter here with no sun for months and minus double digit freezing winds blowing endlessly?

See the penguins on the ridge with beautiful mountains in the rear of the photo.

Looking across the bay

Base Camp Camara of Argentina.

Lots of Fur seals

He is not happy we are too close to him and he is letting us know..

An Emperor Penguin and an Elephant Seal

Emperor Penguin. A rare find on a beach. We were lucky.

Emperor Penguin and an Elephant Seal. Wow amazing.

Desolate part of the world. Cold too. No sun today.

Elephant seal, Emperor Penguinm and a Gentoo seal. Wow.. what luck.

And it gets better. Elephant seal is swimming with flapper in the air, Emperor Penguin and Gentoo Penguin on the beach. Great day in the Antarctic.

Looks like a stand off.

Cámara Base is an Argentine Antarctic base and scientific research station named after Frigate Lieutenant Naval Aviator Juan Ramón Cámara. It is located in the northern foothills of La Morenita Hill, at Menguante Cove in Half Moon Island off the east coast of Livingston Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica.

Directions in Kilometers to the world from Base Camp Camara.

Just a few tourists, about 90 from the ship, dropping in to say hello.

I introduced my self to the in Charge Officer to the left and his submarin navy person in the middle. I was the only Spanish speaking person in our group of visitors. I had a great time translating for the military personnel and our group.
