Frozen Featherbed

One of the perks of being at Macca in comparison to the continental stations is that we can go off station by ourselves. Last Friday, as everything was beginning to melt, I took myself along the featherbed on the west coast to Eagle Cave. This time, however, the featherbed was a frozen crust, so the movements below foot were a lot less subtle than usual. Eagle Cave is formed in a rock stack in the middle of the featherbed and there's 4 separate caves in the area.

The day started off with the same overcast skies that are always around. Later the clouds cleared leaving a glorious sunny afternoon with low winds. Lovely.
