Lt Ballard was Helicopter pilot, interested in
Biology; requested picture of Roaberg.
Jan 15 Cape Hallett, Antarctica.
A complete (almost) round of skuing
was made during the day. All chicks
were weighed, penguin remains collected
from nest areas + a round of all nests
in penguinery was made. Pets on this
side - in penguinery; other than
penned ones were not checked. The
day was warm + sunny in morning
+ afternoon became breezy in late
afternoon + clouded over in evening
Jan 16 Cape Hallett, Antarctica.
Snow was falling when I got up
large white flakes drifting straight
down. There was already an inch or
so on the ground + buildings.
The morning was spent cleaning up
the mess of penguin remains brought
in yesterday. A round of the skua nest
in the penguinery was made after lunch.
The wind was coming up by this time
+ for the remainder of the afternoon I
developed 3 black & white films including
the aerials of Adare + Hallett which came
out well.
