Antarctic Adventure - Day 5 Afternoon

After spending the morning at New Island in the Falkland Islands, the ship moved on to visit Carcass Island.



Our excursion on Carcass Island started with hikes of various lengths.  I opted for a photography stroll.

The island is owned by the McGill family.  This is a view of their farm.


The McGills provided us with a wonderful afternoon tea.  The table was absolutely covered with a fabulous assortment of cookies and cakes.



This Johnny Rook may have been looking for leftovers.
