Antarctic Center

Well, our vacation has come to an end...sadly.Today is our last day in NZ, but there was still time for some fun to be had at the Antarctic Centre.


A Hagglund (a vehicle used to drive on the snow in Antarctica - it can event float in water)


Yes, that is a penguin mascot.


Mattie pretending he's a penguin slipping down an icy slide.


A little blue penguin
The penguins here had either been injured or are unable to return to their home for their own protection


Playing around on the snow equipment - I'm pretty sure they encourage that sort of thing here


That's about right...Penguins and children only - just like the sign says


Mattie enjoying a light snack and holding the cockroach in my bagel bits bag. It was crawling on the window next to me, and I just about jumped over my seat when it turned and shook its hairy legs at me. Gross!
