Peggotty Bluff, King Haakon Bay
A cold overcast morning gave way to brilliant sunshine and the view from the Zodiacs returning to the ship was magnificent. Peggotty Bluff is where Shackleton's party landed after resting at Cave Cove, and some of them began the trek over the island to Stromness. The route taken was, if I recall correctly, to the left of the prominent peak. I can't find a name for this on the map, which reflects the sheer number of impressive mountains South Georgia has.

There is a wonderful feeling of sunshine in this one, although the grey water helps to show that it maybe isn't very warm!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Keith, it was a brilliantly sunny day once the cloud cleared. The sea is only a couple of degrees above freezing, and it does seem to affect the light.
