A few weekends ago we had beautifully sunny Sunday and some friends and I headed out to Breaker Island. It's a small, butte-style island with a landing you have to climb directly up from. I had Giant Petrels, Brown Skuas and Antarctic Terns on Breaker so you have to be careful where you walk but it's a great little island. I spent a lot of time just sitting and looking at things- it was a classic Antarctic summer day. I hope I get back there again soon.
