Detaille Island

South of the Anarctic Circle in the Crystal Sea is a small island. In the '50's the British Established a post there with the intention of mapping the area. After several challenging years it had to suddenly be evacuated. Recently the Antarctic Trust had sent a team to restore the post for it's historical value. (last year conditions were so poor that they could not even get in at all). Our ship brought the 3 person team supplies, did their laundry and invited them aboard for showers and lunch!
Here are some shots of the cabin.
