Snow track to the top of the giant Glacier Buenos Aires - incredible experience on top of a giant white cake - slices are disappeariing

Champagne and lamb for lunch as formal exchanges are made between the Argentine army commanders and the Bolivian crew of the newly arrived ice breaker ship in the bay

No one (except ourselves: artists and scientists) dare leave the table until the Colonel has retired.

Twin Military Helicopters across the frozen sea to Marambia Base: whales, seals, penguin tribes waddling away from the prop sound..

We are flown to the Swedish house (hut) at Snow Hill. Here the Scandinavian expedition were stranded for 2 two years in 1901. They had brought a flat pack cabin with them and dogs. They walked across the frozen sea for help

Marambia is chaos again. Too many people, no where to sleep except the floor in the lecture theatre. But we are getting used to it..
