Sunday, November 12 - Shingle Cove, South Orkney Islands
Just sharing a few of the fun things I saw on our hike to visit the Adelie penguin colony on Coronation Island. If you look around, you will be amazed at the colors of the Antarctic microclimates.

| Egg and bones - probably the work of a petrel or skua scavenger bird |

| Orange and yellow rock lichens |

| Spring green moss |
