This afternoon we land at Port Lockroy, a former British base. The Union Jack is flying next to the 'Base A' building, which bizarrely makes me feel closer to home. Base A is now a museum with a gift shop and post office. A handful of people live here in the summer monitoring the Gentoo penguin population living among them. The landscape here is stunning. Surrounding the bay are pristine ice cliffs with a beautiful mountain backdrop.
