Proximity to the Barrier and to the rookeries of two types of penguins--easy ascent of Mount Terror--good ground for biological work--good peaks for observation of all sorts--fairly easy approach to the Southern Road, with no chance of being cut off--and so forth.

It is a thousand pities to have to abandon such a spot.
On passing the rookery it seemed to me we had been wrong in assuming that all the guano is blown away.

I think there must be a pretty good deposit in places.

The penguins could be seen very clearly from the ship.

On the large rookery they occupy an immense acreage, and one imagines have extended as far as shelter can be found.
