Probably the last day it will be possible to go in boats before the spring. This ice looks quite thick at an inch or so (2.5cm) but has a very spongy structure at first so is easily broken by a small inflatable boat such as this. It will also provide no barrier at all to the divers whether dropping in or coming back up from below.
Also makes for very useful "I was well 'ard me" type pics to show off when you get back.

| 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. My commentary is taken from notes I was sent with the pictures if any. Corrections or additions, please The reunion weekend was 14-16 September 2007. |
