After an all to brief stopover at Port Lockroy we headed off southwards towards the Ukranian Vernadsky Base via the Lamaire Channel. This narrow channel nicknamed Kodak Crack is spectacular, if you are lucky enough to transit it on a clear day. The mountainsides rise directly out of the water and just keep on going steeply up to ice-capped peaks, the channel barely one hundred metres wide in places. As we approached the mist ahead of us, started lifting and the mountain tops began peaking out every now and then as if teasing us... No more words required.
