Port lockroy 150 mil North to where we are now deception Bay which is a volcano coruption close it give it fun this used to be one big mountain come over here out of the window used to be all one big mountain and then it collapsed in on itself creating this
Harbor kind of like crater lake but by itself so the land here is different than everywhere else we’ve been volcanic ash and gravel I think we have about two days left until we head back to the Drake Passage it’s very windy but it looks like Mo the Glorious sun is out I just basking it like a whale this was an eruption from the ‘ 50s apparently those Hills here and then there’s a black Hill over there that was an eruption from the’ 70s I think he said 1974 was the
Last eruption yeah that buried like a Norwegian Cemetery for the Whalers so this is my 30th birthday deception Bay pmus volcanic rock of choice souvenir so our souvenirs was he got a rusty nail from a whaling boat at Enterprise is that right and then I got
Some I got a rock from skua Island because we should not have been up there because the thingy drop off was like a cliff and what else I get oh I got a feather I’m pretty sure it’s a sco of feather it’s like Barnacles or whatever
The hell they’re called oh yeah the only shells here are barnicles so that’s what I got for natski Ukrainian base they actually had a little gift shop there so we got a handmade magnet I think it was made by the doctor there and then a patch and there’s a
Penguin in front of us here’s my birthday penguin sighting of the day Oh So it’s about 6:00 p.m. now about 5 miles away from where we were earlier from uh telephone Bay now we are at wher Bay still inside the Deception Island and I want to say that this place was built in like 1910 is early 1900s and it was destroyed in 1970s by a volcanic
Eruption and this is what’s left there’s a few other buildings out that way and some giant oil containers there’s also a thermal hot springs on the other side of Deception Island that we were going to go to but we can’t due to weather it’s very windy today it’s like gusting 43
Was the top one that I saw this was a wailing wailing Factory wailing base um for I want to say Norwegian Norwegian whaling base and they brought all the whales here processed them into oil and they stored the oil in these big giant I don’t know container things that I’ll
Show you later now it’s just kind of ruins Cool [Applause] Yeah Wow this is weird if you can tell how short I am the building is like collapsed how weird vandalism 201 vandalism 2014 so here here’s a little hallway Corridor and then here’s another one so going down this little Corridor here’s the window view there’s the factory where we were just
At I want to say this was the kitchen cuz it looked like a little oven counter top area could be the living room could have been a like a fireplace I don’t know and then over here you can see all the giant containers where they would
Fill the whale oil you’re told not to come in here cuz it’s obviously unstable but it’s kind of cool so here is the front of the building that we were just in then there’s even a little Cemetery over Here This is like actually really that’s no that’s hot that’s actually hot wow another guy in our group who’s fully naked right here and understand why how is it ouch how is it that is actually hot it’s hot it is genuinely hot wow the deeper you go the hotter it gets ow it’s almost

Was gusting up to 43 so it broke the snubber in the middle of the night heard the chain going and there was supposed to be a Russian boat that was going to be our neighbor and when I heard the big boom I thought we either ran ground or the other boat um
Ran into us but luckily it wasn’t that big of a deal I guess that’s it I guess we’re heading back it should take I don’t know 4 days 4 days to get through the drag passage which I’m not looking forward to and then couple days going north towards
Usua through the Beagle Channel and I think we’re going to stop somewhere along the way and get back on land and that’s it anarctica trip is over it’s pretty much over we’re leaving it Antarctica [Applause] today it was good it was a good long trip had fun perfect amount of time of
