Christmas Celebration at Lake Hoare

The jaunt out into the Taylor Valley mentioned here, happened to be over the Christmas weekend. In Lake Hoare fashion, there was much celebrating: cookies, gingerbread houses, Christmas tree, and a gigantic dinner with good company to boot.

We closed the shutters in the hut right before dinner, creating a "night" for Christmas. It was certainly different being in almost complete darkness out at Lake Hoare during the summer.
