Adèle moored at Ushuaia in Southern Argentina before
departure to Antarctica |
We tried on the survival suits to be prepared |
And exercised the firefighting equipment. |
During the crossing to Antarctica the barometer fell drastically |
Cape Petrels met us in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica |
And penguins were happily jumping in the water |

Deception Island is volcanic and the latest eruptions took
place in the 60's. |
