    Hi Andrew,

    yes, one of the things I love about Davis is that it is in the Vestfold Hills which is a 400sq.km. ice free area of hills, fjords, freshwater lakes, saline lakes and hyper-saline lakes. It's one of the largest ice free areas down here, after the Dry Valleys near McMurdo. There are several field huts sprinkled about so you can just strap on your boots and go for a multi-day walk. Deep Lake is hyper-saline and the surface is 50m below sea level. It never freezes and the water temp can fall below -15C in winter. Some more pics below of the Vestfolds from the air, Deep Lake and Trajer Ridge, one of my favourite places.

    Cheers Tony

    Amazing photos Frenchie, thanks for sharing them.

    Our daughter Sharon sailed from Ushuaia to Cape Town a few years ago on the Barque "Europa" for 53 days through Antarctica and the photos she came back with were truly amazing.

    The penguins, whales and birds AND the icebergs and lansdcape pics were quite unbelievable - it looked almost like another world.

    Thanks again for the great photos!

    Great photos Tony, so clear it feels like one is there. I have a number of places listed to see before I die, and thats one of them.

    Thanks for sharing.

    Superb images of an awesome landscaping.
    Thank you for sharing.
    I agree with Tombie2 the image of the penguin is technically very good with excellent exposure control

    Do companies run tours down there. I chatted to a fellow on a course I was doing who runs expeditions to the poles, he was saying that they were like $20k+ type thing, but it would just be an adventure of a lifetime!
