What do you do in Antarctica when the snow seals you inside your tents?? First, you dig out. Then you bake a cake. In Antarctica this tasted like fine pastry. At home it would be a doorstop. Deception Glacier, Antarctica Jan 2019. #antarctica #paleontology 💙🧪

He´s blissfully unaware that he is the last member of his species, but that's okay.
