May 8: The little things

With seals, penguins, amazing views and  auroras everywhere it is easy to overlook the beautiful little things here too. Life clings to everything here, with all it's might I should add, to avoid being blown away.  This lichen is growing on the sides of the wooden slab building that serves as our mechanical workshop.
