Usually all this sea between us and the island 2-3 miles distant and about 30 miles long is on the move and more commonly rough than not. Now though it is all perfectly flat and calm and covered with a delicate but solid ice layer maybe an inch thick (2.5cm) that you can easily poke a finger through that covers tens, probably hundreds of square miles. That's the great thing about the temperature falling below freezing, the whole world changes in such an impressive way.

| This picture is one of a collection assembled in
2007 on the 60th anniversary of Signy Island Base: 60°43'S 045°36'W.
Thank you to those who sent their treasured memories of their time in
Antarctica and allowed them to be made into a commemorative cd and then
placed here on the web. The reunion weekend was
14-16 September 2007. |
