Here we are in Platcha Hut with the Russians after a long day in the boots. We had dinner with them and they were very hospitable with the scotch as the Vodka had run out! Below is the view from my bivvy sack.
After the late finish last night I let the crew have a bit of a snooze to recover from the long day so it was not until 09:00 that we all rose. Not really fresh as a daisy the aches and pains of the previous day set in after a night of strong winds. The winds have the effect of whipping the bivvy bag into your face so that you are frequently woken with this cold slap to the face! This does not make for the most relaxing of nights as I am sure you can imagine!
The waters run red with the concentratioon of iron in the lakes. We walk over some amazing ice features and caves. This one slumped in the middle under the weight of the dirt ontop of it.
This little Oyster is a rather uncommon variety for the location and the first of its type that I have seen.
More carnage! This Elephant seal is years old and still maintains its shape after having its eyes pecked out and a large amount of holes down its sides.Still has a satisfied grin on his face as he is a long way inland for this sized animal!
