It is bright out there, so don't forget your sunblock.

The three of us instead slept in this snowmound.

After all that, we carved out a dining area out of the snow. There was a snow wall to break the wind, and we dug out trenches to make bench seats. We set up the stoves to heat some water and had hot drinks and a rehydrated chili dinner. It was so good that a skua (a scavenger bird that resembles a sea gull) came to visit and look for his share.

Later, I saw my first penguin. This one was made from snow as an after-dinner activity.
