Fish Island

The Seal passed between huge icebergs to reach Flounder Island inlet in Fish Island Bay. They took the dingby across across to Mackerel Island to visit an Adelie penguin rookery. When they landed at Mackerel Island, two fur seals tried to get rid of them

They climbed up a huge ice cap on top of the island for what they described as " breathtaking views of Trout, Plaice, Salmon and Perch Islands in Fish Island Bay. The bay was littered with icebergs and sea ice.

The friends are anchored on Hovgaard Island 65 S , 64 W. It was on this island that that the ozone layer was first identified and bought to world attention
They spotted some Adelie penquins , a family of skuas, fur seals and turns

Bad weather coming.

Ciara, Ko, Simon and Stu keep a blog and the class read these blogs most days. Hamish and Kate have two children who travel everywhere with them. They are only six and four but they have travelled 25,ooo miles . Like us they love Harry Potter books. They go to school only if they are on land but when they are at sea their parents teach them. Hamish has been to Antarctica many times.

The friends met up with Kate and Hamish at Puerto Williams -a port at the bottom of South America and sailed across Drake Passage . This is the sea between S. America and Antarctia. They landed in a place called Whale Harbour at Deception island . This is one of the South Shetland Islands. It has an active volcano and has a black sandy beach. It was once a whaling station but is now an historic site .

Did you know that Antarctica is the fifth largest continent. 98% of the hugh landmass is covered in ice. It is at the bottom of the earth. In the winter the sun never rises and in summer it never goes down. It is the coldest and windiest continent. Lots of people visit Antarctica as tourists.
