This morning’s adventure is a cruise around the glacier and icebergs in Wilhelmina Bay. We have Simon again who squires us around the bigger ice pieces and points us toward the icebergs with the penguins (and some other bird I can’t remember) hanging out. The scenery from water level is so incredible – being this close to the ice you can really see the striations from when they have calved and where the water is wearing away the ice as it moves through the bay.
We wander around through the area – and even spot a chin strap penguin! Picture taking is limited though – it’s raining and snowing – and blowing – so we’re a little worried about the cameras. We decide to give up on the photo memories and just make our own mental memories for the rest of the ride.
Back aboard, we dry off and head to the lounge to blog and relax. That doesn’t last all that long, as the scenery and whale watching takes all our attention, as well as the navigation and building sea ice!
