We have had quite a few long-distance skiers at the Pole this year, but these gentlemen stand out in several ways. They have come from McMurdo Sound, on the New Zealand side of Antarctica, and not from Patriot Hills ...

- South Pole Station - View from A1, Floor 2 Looking Toward Grid South, Late Summer 2010 by Ella Derbyshire

Robert Point on Robert Island is in the South Shetland Islands, just a bit west of the Antarctic Peninsula. The point looks pretty rugged, and the rocks made walking a bit tricky. Lichens and grass add some color to the landscape.
