@rowena_kay YES. A staycation is putting the fancy sheets + towels out in your house, drinking mid-afternoon cocktails in your garden, local walks from your door, + ordering a takeaway to go with your film night. Otherwise it's a holiday. Like every other holiday where you go somewhere else.

1/If weather and ice conditions have been favourable, the Penguin Post Office team should be arriving at Port Lockroy within the next couple of days. So what do you think of our new home? #Antarctica #PenguinPost 🌐64.82S 63.49W 📍Port Lockroy 📷:UKAHT @AntarcticHT @GovBAT

Hey twitter folks, anyone know of organisations in Scotland that can make use of discarded camping gear to help refugees, the homeless, or other groups in need?

Summer snowy scenes were looking much more in keeping with the local wildlife the other day. Just right for #PenguinAwarenessDay 🐧🐧🐧 #SouthGeorgia

Arrived home, though there's still three days walking left to reach the east coast in my #TGOChallenge route. Was very nice of them to arrange a low level flyover by a Hercules to welcome me back into Ballater.

Endex blues hitting very hard right now. After a great day out hiking up to Glacier Col, I've found that new ship schedules mean our departure has been moved forward four days. Heading home but not really ready to go #SouthGeorgia

A brief but incredibly colourful sunset from a few nights ago turned everything to shades of crimson, silver and black around King Edward Point #SouthGeorgia

Chasing the sunset on last night's ranger patrol around the Linn of Dee. A deliciously cold autumn evening to make you appreciate going indoors so much more. #rangerlife #Scotland #Cairngorms

Today was a day mostly spent around the rivers with lots of bridges to cross. A wee wander around Crathie by the Dee, with a stop for coffee and cake, then upstream to Braemar + the Clunie, then further to the Lui, the Quoich + the Linn of Dee. #CairngormsTogether #Autumn

Well, isn't this is a pretty awful development. Exactly what travel to Antarctica should not be about.

@MisterABK But also with an interior scene that looks like it was filmed in a showroom for extremely stylish lampshades.

Ready for the next adventure. Very excited to head back to Antarctica as a guide on @BarkEuropa for a couple of voyages. I'll be out of contact for a few weeks, but there will be plenty of pictures to share when I return to Ushuaia. #Antarctica #PolarGuide #BarkEuropa
