Photos from Cape Evans Trip

These are photos from the trip I took out to Cape Evans almost a month ago now. I got these photos from some of the other people on the trip, and I thought I better post them for you all to see.

We had to wait for them to move away from the flagged road before we could pass by.

They finally moved after we waited 15 minutes or so!

Me testing to see if humans can slide on the ice like the penguins can! We can't!
