Port Lockroy,
is a former British base that now houses a museum which is completely
surrounded by nesting Gentoo Penguins. The museum displays the
stations history dating back to its use in Operation Tabarin during
World War II. The original station hut, Bransfield House was constructed
in 1944-the oldest British structure remaining on the Antarctica
Peninsula. This base is staffed by 3 people during the summer.
This was the first and only "Shopping Op" on the trip--T-shirts
$50!! And yes-MORE PENGUINS!!
