15 Jan 2011 - Verndadsky Station (Ukrainian)


Base Commander 'Andre' showing us the machine that discovered and every 15 minutes still monitors the hole in the Ozone layer


We were invited ashore for drinks in the bar with the Ukranian scientists

When in Vernadsky......if you're 'lucky' you're offered the infamous Vernadsky Vodka, home distilled by the base doctor, 'Nichola' 

More stunning scenery from snow-shoe hiking at Vernadsky Base, in the Argentine Islands on Penola Strait

Hot trekking - Bill regretted remarking that if he had to take any more layers off he'd be down to his snow-shoes and jocks!


Our stern and bow lines out at Vernadsky anchorage



Sea kayaking quickly past menacing ice cliffs, at Vernadsky
