From Danko to Port Lockroy

From Danko island we travelled about 6 hours (to do 36 miles) through some pretty stiff ice conditions for us, probably the most we could navigate through safely, Say about 4/10. However we arrived at a great anchorage and settled in for the night. In the morning all guests went ashore to visit the Station here. Port Lockroy was a British Antarctic base and the most Southerly post office in the world. Now it is staffed in the summer only and used as a post office and a gift shop!
