Five Hut's in 5 day's

A melt stream where we had lunch on the second day.

 Spending quality time at in the Vestafold Hills has probably been the highlight of my adventure's down south.

 As you can see we had great weather that lasted for the whole trip.

 My style of esky cooling a bit of the good stuff. Made sure it was well marked so it could not be lost. The simple pleasure's in life.

We climbed the highest hill on the second day to find a box and cylinder that contained a flag and a log book that was a complete surprise.

We where the second entry in the book after the previous party who had placed it there.

 The Box.

Traylor Ridge Hut our refuge on the second night.

 Early morning start.

A Frozen Fjord.

Life is good.

Boulder's of solid ice washed down after a melt lake let loose in a raging torrent.

The melt stream settled back to a passable state.

The wonder's of nature.

A view from above looking back at the melt stream we crossed. You can see chucks of ice in the lake downstream and notice the colour of the lake it is brown form being stirred up by the in rush of surging water.

Up close with a slight crack, i mean crevasse.

Where ever we look the views are stunning.

The face of the Sorcel Glacier adjacent Platcher's Hut. The face had not longed collapsed into the Fjord.

More of the same.

The gang great bunch of guy's from left Myself, Tim, Brad, Dave and John. We travelled 70km as the crow flies i reckon you could add half as much as that again with the ups and downs not to mention the circles. My body was hurting in places i did not realise i had but it was great and would do it all again.

Places you my go in the name of Fire extinguisher's

 Programed service on Doug's helicopter to ensure trouble free operation.

The blades had to be taken of so the service could be conducted inside the green shed out of the element's.
The service team are very professional and highly skilled making sure every think is 100 percent including Frank the other chopper pilot. Both him and Doug have a vast knowledge operating in remote locations where detail is paramount.

 Job complete time to go to next destination.

 A view coming into Law Base a Australian field hut about One hour and Fifteen minutes via chopper from Davis next to the Russian and Chinese bases.

The chopper dropped me off.  I was going to continue on to Sampson Island a other Forty Five minutes down  the road to meet up with the other chopper to move fuel drums and do the Fire extinguisher thing but had to much work to do at Law Base. I suppose that will be a trip to come.
Completed my work replacing six extinguisher's, and testing the Gas installation. Had a bit of time up my sleeve decided to have a bit of a look around. And this is the outlook.

 Perched on top of a hill.

 The Russian's are coming.

 Heard a rumble in the distance and this is what it was a old 1950 tank bit of a time warp.

The pictures where taken from the same hill. The Russian Base is probably about 10km.

A view on my way down from the hill back to Law Base.
