Day 6 of my voyage to the #Antarctic Peninsula on the #tallship #BarkEuropa: a close approach to Half Moon Island in McFarlane Strait, South Shetland Islands, but strong winds precluded a landing. Subsequently we approached close to Edinburgh Hill on Livingston Island, a volcanic plug exhibiting spectacular columnar jointing.

Day 7 of my voyage to the #Antarctic Peninsula on the #tallship #BarkEuropa: an exploration of a narrow channel between Spert and Trinity Islands in small boats, weaving between numerous icebergs and growlers. #BusmansHoliday

@PoLaRobs@fediscience.org If they'd used Edinburgh Hill in a movie - like they did with Skellig Michael in Star Wars - everyone, myself included, would have thought "Yeah, nice CGI island you got there..." 🤯
