In the few hours break between dinner and dessert the cricket set made an appearance, the wicket was a bit slow with the slushy snow, so full tosses proved the most effective delivery. The Adelie penguins were appreciative onlookers and a few even joined in as fielders.
After dessert the southerly wind kicked in, shooing us all inside to the warmth of the Sorensen. The quintessential lethargic Christmas night time kicked in, the mountain of dishes has been dealt with, and one by one party members sign out for the evening.
A memorable Christmas in the Antarctic.
