The best birthday card ever!

Someone had a birthday yesterday. One of those big birthdays that can be the source of dread. The kind of birthday that makes you feel not so young any more. That particular birthday on which you need a little more support from your friends...

So from the South Pacific - the very south pacific - see the iceberg back there? - came this salutation from our amigo Daniel and his friends aboard Greenpeace's Eszeranza.


Daniel is aboard the Esperanza with Greenpeace's Ocean Defenders documenting the Japanese whaling fleet in antarctic waters. In the background is the Nisshin Maru which has been disabled by a fire in its engine rooom and another whaling ship is rafted to it for support. For more information on what our frio amigos are doing in the antarctic waters and to see more photos from Daniel, click this linky.
