After leaving Deception Island we headed south and the following morning had arrived at Cuverville Island which was to be our landing for the morning. Cuverville Island has been identified as\u00a0an Important Bird Area<\/a> by Birdlife International\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0as it has a breeding colony of approximately 6500 pairs of Gentoo Penguins, the largest on the Antarctic Peninsula for this species. The breeding Gentoos were thus one of the main features of the landing but as always there were the attendant Skuas, some dramatic icebergs and some large whale vertebrae on the shore. This landing was more in keeping with preconceptions of Antarctica with a lot more snow which was interestingly coloured red and green in areas due to algal growth in the summer. The penguin guano added to the reddish colouration of the snow and rocks and made their trails up to the nesting sites stand out against the cleaner snow.<\/p>\n

Photos with Nikon D810 and 200-400mm f4, except for whale vertebra and beach images which were\u00a0taken with D3s and 18-35mm f3.5-4.5 and the Zodiac photo taken with Fuji x100s. We had nice flat light and a little snow at times. After returning to the ship we went kayaking and the snow really started to come down which was fun and will be the subject of another post.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
