Updates from the Peter I DXpedition team!

Spent last night anchored in Whalers Bay inside the caldera of Deception Island.

Team was up early for breakfast and then into the zodiacs to go ashore. This is the site of an old whaling staion and the British scientific station destroyed by the eruption in 1969.

We took rur last look back at Peter One Island as we departed

We walked and photographed everything that moved including large number of fur seals and a few penguins.

This is a favorite stop for cruise ships and the Polar Star pulled in while we were ashore. When last seen the passengers were still having breakfast.

We will depart here for Fildes Bay at KGI. We understand the WX has cleared there and we are hopeful of a flight to Punta Arenas tonight. We shall see!

73's to all from The Peter I team!
