A glory at Cape Crozier

Cape Crozier lies on the northeast side of Ross Island.  It is the location of an immense penguin colony and home to a small group of dedicated (and stinky!) researchers.  Every once in a while we fly out there to drop off goodies.

Flying between the sun and a low cloud creates a "glory".

Ross Ice Shelf on the horizon, the tan ground is the penguin colony or rather, their poo.  Don't get downwind!
