also easy to see as they didn't mind if you came close to them. Macquarrie Island also had some rockhopper penguins. The rockhopper are smaller. On the same islands were the huge Elephant Seals. Some of them have been known to grow as big as 3600 kilograms. On our trip we also saw the Emperor Penguins ( the same as "Happy Feet"). We are now travelling between Antarctica and New Zealand and sometimes you see an iceberg going by with penguins on them. Fantastic. I have great photos and some video which I hope to show you when I came back. Question from: Eva to: Shackleton Bear dated: 25 Feb Question: Is it getting colder as you get to Antarctica? Answer: It can get quite cold, but some days the sun comes out and I almost wish I didn't have so much fur! Question from: Peter Massie to: Gareth dated: 25 Feb Question: Are you using Ham Radio at all on your voyage as a means of communication ??? Answer: Not to my knowledge, however we did see the 'ham shack' at Macquarie Island where it was once popular technology to keep in touch with the rest of the world. I think it has now become the 'love shack' for a couple of the team who are doing a fantastic job at eradicating that last of the pest rabbits that were previously wreaking havoc on the local vegetation and wildlife.
