Maker 1961 Journal 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.
