Elephant Island

As we woke up this morning, the first thing we saw was a rather large iceberg. It was a spectacular sight as we sat and enjoyed our morning coffee. Our first stop on this Antarctic cruise was Elephant Island, famous for the shipwreck and stranding of Sir Ernest Shackleton’s crew in 1916. The current inhabitants consist of various species of penguins.

Here are a few of this pictures I took. Takes a long time to upload them. Imagine, the Internet kind of poor this far south.
