After the paddle boarding experience, they took us to Damoy Point, which is a rocky isthmus off the west coast of Wiencke Island on the Antarctica Peninsula. There is another Gentoo Penguin Colony and an historic hut established by the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) in 1975. It was last occupied in 1993 but now is a museum of sorts for visitors. It also has supplies for emergency purposes. It’s unlocked so we could see it. In addition, there is an ice landing field above the hut, on top of the glacier. The British would use this to fly supplies to Rothera Research Station when they couldn’t move supplies by ship.
