Copied from an old slide (and too small here). Colonies of Adelie penguins lived on the offshore islands near Mawson, and were frequent visitors except in the winter months .

Some blatant advertising. For the 50th anniversary of our expedition, I wrote a book which is available online as either a hard cover or inexpensive .pdf download. It covers the material I've shown here plus a lot more narrative and images (also some previously untold stories). If you visit the link I've given, you can view a preview by clicking on the book cover, then click on the diagonal arrow at top right to enlarge, then just click the image to flip the pages.
