Day 16 of my voyage to the #Antarctic Peninsula on the #tallship #BarkEuropa: several members of the voyage crew were keen to see Cape Horn on our way back to Ushuaia. The Captain agreed, but warned us that we would pass the Cape in the early hours of the morning. Hence this was all we could see.

Photo of postcard picture showing a dark hut in a snow-covered landscape with a mountainous background
The postcard I sent home from the historic Port Lockroy base on the #Antarctic Peninsula on 27th January was delivered yesterday. I posted it when we visited the base, which is maintained by @antarcticheritage.bsky.social Heritage Trust, during a voyage on the #tallship #BarkEuropa
View of Port Lockroy from Jougla Point in driving rain. Part of the dark-panelled hut with red window frames and eaves can be seen over a rocky bluff. To the right of it flags are stretched out in the wind and a few penguins and one person can be seen. In the foreground a couple of small snow patches remain.
The kitchen stove in the hut.
Stores on the shelves and worktop in the hut kitchen.

The Tall Ship, the Glenlee, moored on the River Clyde beside the Riverside Museum in Glasgow. The image shows a three masted sailing ship with a grey and red hull with black and white upper parts. The masts are in yellow. The ship is moored to a quay, which extends to the right, as far as part of the Riverside Museum.
