It’s such a special place. That was the last recreational hike our operations team went on before we left. It was such a special day

It’s the Bunger Hills, literally in the caption and in the photo explanation

Yum! That’s deliciously festive

That’s a melon hut. It’s made of fibreglass and curved to withstand the strong winds

At camp until Feb, in Antartica til late Feb/early March depending on flights

That’s fabulous! I’ll need to get one

The banana one is adorable
