Back from a traverse to the Rauer Island group

Hi all, been out the last couple of days. Went south over the Sorsdal glacier with 8 others where we trekked to the Rauer Island group. Lots and lots of trouping around taking photos and exploring. A great time was had.

Quiet times

Went out for Justin's B-day. Camped on Pintado Island, south of Davis station. Sorsdal Glacier in view and an aurora.

A trip down a lake, some lights on the ice

Went for a cruise on the weekend, took the R'mit Van AKA the RMIT van AKA the van made by RMIT way back when. Basically Cookie, Tulloh and I were grey nomads driving a Hagg with a trailer up frozen fresh water lakes and taking pictures of them with coloured lights shone in them... like these:

View from my back porch

So, I don't know if you guys are sick of auroras yet. I guess I am not :)

Here's some more southern lights photos taken 5 minutes ago. This is after walking 20 feet from my room, past the stairs, out the cold porch and out onto the snow drift out the back of SMQ (Sleeping and Medical Quarters). Turning roughly south or right from the back door and looking up over the new LQ (Living Quarters) this is the view tonight. Enjoy.

Break downs, Hydro and Fun (not really)

Sorry been a bit distracted of late with some equipment failures. More info on that when I have it going.

In other news though, Hydro supplied a whopping 8.4kg or there abouts of tomatoes this month. In the game now.
