This was our next shore excursion. It was an Argentine research station named Almirante Brown. In 1984, the station’s doctor went mad (too much time in Antarctica, I suppose) and burned down the station. It’s been partially rebuilt, but not reopened. This place is also on the Antarctic Peninsula. It’s near Skontrop Cove and in Paradise Harbor. We saw gentoo penguins, skuas, cormorant nesting areas, and other birds here as well.

These photos are all view photos of the station, the harbor and the cove. The first and third photos were taken from the top of the peak where we hiked. Just to the right of my knee in the first photo, the smaller red building is where our small boats landed us to come ashore. You can see plenty of active glaciers in this cove.

The second photo was taken lower down the hill. It was an overcast day but it still seemed very bright with all the snow and ice.

The third photo is again, farther up the hill and more to the left of the first photo.
