Penguin Poo

A codicil to our Antarctica trip: You truly cannot understand how pervasive, and permeating, is the smell of penguin guano. All the landfalls we made in the Zodiacs ... we knew we were approaching the shore when we smelled that familiar smell. Oh my god I think we'll never get that out of our lungs ... or our parkas.

Above is a pic of our routine each time we returned to the ship: Scrubbing down our boots and rain pants with disinfectant to ensure we tracked as little guano as possible back onto the ship. That said, I can tell you that despite best efforts our cabin always smelled awfully funky!
