Visits
- 2005-02-01: A day trip by bus to go hiking in the park. The weather was chilly and cloudy with occasional light rain.
- 2021-12-10: The final day of our trip to Antarctica involved leaving the boat at 7:30 in the morning. Somehow, we found ourselves at the airport. So, I arranged a taxi to take us to the nearby national park.
