Cape Royds was due for a review of the Antarctic Specially Protected Area (ASPA) located there and so I headed there via helicopter, which never gets old really. You know what else never gets old? Penguins. There are a lot of them at Cape Royds and Shackleton's historic hut to boot.

| Shackleton's axe? |
On the way, the helo pilot took us by this axe that is stuck in the rock on a hill above Cape Royds. The story is that it's an axe of Shackleton's that was left behind. Having trouble verifying that so I'm just going to go with it. It's a cool visual to see that axe way out in the middle of nowhere.
