7.00 AM: Early breakfast at 7:30AM breakfast, and then it’s time to prep for a 9AM landing.

9.00 AM: Zodiac over to the shores of Dorian Bay, where we’ve anchored for now. Located on shore are two research huts – one belonging to the Argentines, the other to the British. This is one of the few places where you can find British and Argentine buildings co-existing peacefully. The pissing contests between the researchers of Chile, Argentina and Great Britain over the claims of the peninsula make Antarctica history rather entertaining.

Although the British hut seemed pretty cozy, I can’t imagine living there for extended periods of time. Granted, modern research bases probably have a bit more advanced forms of bathrooms (this hut hasn’t been in use for a while).
