Lake Druzhby

Lake Druzhby was the first lake we visited on out trip over the past 2 days, it is incredible and hard to put into perspective. I have tried to to give you an insight into the ice and landscape.

We left the station on Friday morning for a 2 day trip to check out the freshwater lakes up to Trajer Ridge. Trajer ridge has an apple located there for overnight stays, it is located just under the Sorsdal Galzier. 

The Vestfold's Hills are pretty amazing and we get to enjoy them, unfortunately I doubt I will get to see all of the sights they have to offer, but i will do my best. We stayed in Watts hut, another accommodation unit provided for scientific and recreational trips. These huts have been here for quite a while and hold a certain character about them, they are used as refuge points for lost or exposed personnel caught out in the weather. 

The only set back is they take quite a while to warm up and more times than not are colder inside than out, however all in all a pleasant site when you are cold and tired.

Enjoy....

One of the tricks here, is to take a light out drill a hole in the ice and illuminate, it looks great.

 This is fairly typical of the contents inside the huts when you arrive everything is frozen solid

Cheers Dave, bit of a Mr Whippy who poured that.............
