TAAF, who organize the program for the tourists from “Marion Dufresne” offers on Kerguelen overnights stays in the interior.
They have two cabanas (little shelters) in the interior.The only possible access is by helicopter. First one – Labourer is located in the far end of the narrow bay, near the waterfall. Second one – Ratmanoff – on the eastern coast.
Since I am still weak, coughing and sneezing I decided to fly with my fellows just for the short photo-stop at Labourer and to come back to the ship on the second flight of the helicopter. It was a good idea. We were flying in the strong wind but with a temporary clear sky, so I had opportunity to enjoy the lovely insular landscape and to took few pictures of Labourer bay and surroundings.
In fact there is not much to do in the cottage since in this location there is practically no wildlife – the serene landscape contemplated in the strong wind is your only advantage there.
We have periods of snow today, but they say it is Antarctic summer.
My temperature went down to 37.7.
