Seriously! So Deception Island is a Volcano that has an opening in it’s side, which lets the ocean in and gives us this awesome place to hang out. Today we’ve moved to a place further inside the caldera to a beach that once was home to a base that was destroyed during the last eruption and now is a pile of stone, wood, and steal. The rocks near here are really neat and range from tiny pebbles to rocks much the same as you see else where, but a good chunk of them are porous.
I spent a good part of the morning checking out the ruins and the rocks, along with the little bit of wildlife that was near by. After lunch was spend laying in a pool of water that was heated by thermal vents from the volcano, very nice. The location of these pools was such that you could stand up take a few steps and you’d be in the colder water. So I spent the afternoon going from the hot water to the cold water, while not as cold as at Palmer it was still decently cold and was a great way to spend the afternoon.
