Spurned by Barrientos, we continue towards more clement crescent

Half-moon island welcomes the zodiacs and their contents, 10 by 10

ice-bergs bluff us into momentarily believing their austere elegance

till suddenly sinking bottom deep in virgin snow

sliding downhill with the penguins (seeking still the up)

we have no choices left to celebrate but

the clumsy accident of the route we were dealt
