Camping- Cape Royd’s style.

8th May, 2016

Setting up camp with backdoor bay behind frozen over with sea ice.

After arriving at Cape Royd’s the first priority was to set up camp. Nichy had this sorted in no time at all while I was busy carting the gear down from the heli pad. The camp site was about 400 meters away from the hut. The bay behind the tent is Backdoor Bay which was used by Shackleton’s ship “Nimrod” to unload provisions for the expedition.

Camp site with the hut approx 400m ethers away.
