1001 Places/Experiences to See or Savour #498 - Telefon Bay, Antarctica

1001 Places/Experiences to See or Savour After Remission #498

- Telefon Bay, Antarctica
 
 
(The expedition crew decided to drop us beside an active volcano at Telefon Bay, one that last exploded with lava just 30 years ago. We started our hike up the volcano with the "Fast Group", thinking we could keep up wit the pace of these fit and younger guys. We soon realised we might be in the wrong group, but we pressed on and were rewarded with great views of this young volcano. The last chance for those on this expedition ship to have their "polar plunge" was presented here by this black sandy beach. We were surprised that so many decided to take the plunge - and mostly girls too! Would we have done it too? Nope - we didn't want to risk falling sick, with a long 40hr flight back awaiting us)
