Notes From A Cold Island

Lisa in the Antarctic Post Office

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

Last post before Christmas. Will raise a glass for each and everyone one of you poor souls who have been reading my ramblings! A few phots below of the museum and the stove and various rusty tins. There some pictures of life onboard the ships… the ginerbread house is a gift from one of the ships to us. A picture of what remains of a whaling boat from the 1930s at Port Lockroy as the penguins do like to nest all around the two boat remains by the boat shed.

Have a lovely day and a good New Year!

May the New Year be full and happy for everyone.
