7th April
Gold Harbour is so called because the sun's rays make the cliffs yellow with their light in the morning and evening. However, we had overcast skies in the morning on arrival but the hanging ice cliffs and the Bertrab Glacier were impressive.
Between the King Penguin rookery and the hanging glacier there is a lagoon which you can't see in the photos.
There was a rough surf crashing on to the steep beach and a bumpy swell causing any attempts at photography and video to be tricky. However, the King Penguins took it all in their stride with small flocks seeming to handle the rough looking conditions with ease.
As well as Antarcrtic Fur Seals a number of Southern Elephant Seals were also hauled out on the beach.
Cute Antarctic Fur Seals just mucking about
