Cuverville Island & Neko Harbour

I didn’t go ashore in Cuverville. Emotionally I wasn’t in a good place for a few hours and needed time to sort myself out and pull myself together.

This afternoon we were in Neko Harbour and I went ashore. There was a nice walk up to the ridge with good views of the glacier and the ship below. Near a ridge towards the bottom I went on to do a bit of a circular walk back to the landing site.

While walking up to the ridge, there was a thundery sound and we were able to view 3 avalanches within a short space of time of each other, snow hurtling down the mountain cliffs, towards the sea, leaving a snow plume out into the bay. It was spectacular. I wasn't very quick to take a video of the start of them but I still got footage of a bit of the avalanche and the snow plume.

There are lots of nesting penguins but I didn’t see any eggs! Others did - as always. I'm not so lucky to see things!Read more
