I really didn't think it was possible to get much colder, but heading to the last land mass before reaching the south pole is one way to find out! The scenary was absolutely stunning, huge stretches of coastline with snow capped mountains in the back ground, and as you can see from the photo we were right up close to a lot of wildlife as well.

The sea was sooo choppy i don't know how the seals survive there!! Then we stopped in Westport to grab some essentials for our fancy dress party that night, all the boys were told they had to go in drag and all the girls were given 2 black bin liners each and told to come up wit...
