Yesterday we were able to sample at Cape Royds, a Adelie penguin rookery. Amazing. We were looking for Panagralaimus, a nematode found in the soil at penguin rookeries. The penguins were really curious and would walk up and see what was going on. It was unbelievable. Definitely one of those, "I can't believe I'm in Antarctica," moments. Holy cow.

We also go to check out Shackleton's hut from the Nimrod Expedition. So well preserved by the cold and cared for by the New Zealanders.
What a day!
Wow these pictures are amazing! I'm so glad you found your camera! That's incredible! I love that you brought your penguin hat! :)
