Antarctica

Glacier hike

There is a glacier behind Palmer Station that has been shrinking over time. More on that later. For now, we can still hike the glacier and head to another part of Anvers Island called Point 8. Hikes like this recharges me. It is absolutely fantastic, with sweeping vistas all around. Simply magnificent.

    Not all of #Antarctica is covered in snow and ice. The western Antarctic Peninsula has seen nearly 90% of its glaciers retreat as a result of rapid warming. This retreat has exposed soils that are now subject to plant colonization.
