Snowshoeing at Damoy Point

Snowshoeing was an optional activity that cost extra, but it was so fun! We crossed the land by zodiac, carrying our snowshoes by hand. After wading to shore, we climbed up to the top of the snowpack using ice stairs cut out by the crew.
We put on our snowshoes with help, and headed off across the hills in a single file, following our guide.
We saw a mountain range called Seven Sisters, visited a Gentoo penguin colony and completed our circuit by returning down the hill to the UK research hut at Family Point. We had a quick peak into the hut and then headed back to our zodiac boat.Read more
