The
Emperors at Auster...
(part 2 of 4)
Sunday 21st Nov 99
...
continued
Back
to Macey Island Hut. It is located right in the middle of an Adelie
penguin Rookery, and so at times can be very noisy. The tradeoff
is the view.

The
window on Macey Island Hut
There
is a window on the side of the hut, just above the sink and
directly opposite one of the bunk beds. I convinced myself
as soon as I arrived that I must find myself waking up in
that bunk one morning to be greeted with the view out the
window and to clean the window the night before!.

Jade
berg behind Macey Hut
Just
behind the hut is a blue jade berg which has recently cracked.
I walked around it and took a photo, and stopped and listened
to the ice cracking and groaning. The sea ice around Macey
is melting very quickly - so much so that I dropped into a
snow covered tide crack up to my thigh near the berg!
