Anvord Bay and Neko Harbor

November 27, 2010
Doug with Gentoo Penguins - Antarctic Peninsula 2010

Had a wonderful day in Anvord Bay and more specifically Neko Harbour. We landed at a Gentoo Penguin rookery and the adult penguins are just now starting to breed with no sign of any eggs as of yet due to the large amount of snow in the Peninsula this season. The Gentoos are about 2.5 ft tall and weight about 35-40 lbs. We skied up to a point around 1200 ft and climbed the last 200 ft. and skied some great new snow. The wind picked up but the sun did shine on us. Some of the Ice Axe crew climbed some ice and overall it was a great Thanksgiving Day. We are off to Rojas Peak on Lamaire Island. 2200 ft. and the sun is coming out. Yeah haaa!
