Lichen Lake


Scientist collecting moss from Lichen Lake which is a sensitive area and really not visited without a environmental permit. Below is some of the moss which is the greenest thing I have seen apart from Penguin poo with bile as they are hungry. Very juicy and looked great as it was giving off gaseous bubbles.


The infamous Lichen Lake was pretty sweet and it would be great if you could walk there but it would take about four days from base! Here is some of the special and sensitive lichen growing against the odds in Antarctica.
