We went on the our usual monthly round Marion Island earlier this month. I'll show you how we survive in the wild.

But first - penguins!

These are creched Gentoo penguins. They have grown so much.

Here is a colony of King penguin chicks. We were counting them on our round island.

I know you were wondering, but were too polite to ask

So here's a photo of the hut and its toilet.

We have 8 of these hut stops around the island to take a break and refuel.

That's the rarely spotted South African snow hiker

The next two photos are of me walking on very thick snow during my round island.

Sharing the luxury of our round island accommodation

That's me inside the hut. As you can see, there are two bunk beds, so only four people can sleep in each hut.

That's me having lunch at the hut - 2 minutes noodles and Soya mince. Yummmmmy. I lost weight on this week-long trip!

Thanks for all your support and comments so far. It really means a lot to me!
