• Antarctica: Danco Coast

    February 18, 2023, South Atlantic Ocean

    I suppose this could be considered a summary of where we spent our second day in Antarctica … along the Danco Coast, exploring nooks and crannies of some of the most beautiful parts of the world.

    Plans to go into Paradise Bay were foiled by ice. So we explored Andvord Bay and squeezed through Errera Channel instead.

    Despite what our expedition leader calls “atmospheric Antarctic weather”, we had a wonderful time on deck. Hence, the photo footprints shall follow at a later date.

    Oh, and yes … a whale fest seemed to be following us everywhere we went. Thank you GM Claudio for ordering up 12 whales for us. They must have sent word to their friends to join them, too! Nice to see the order was not messed up due to supply chain issues 😉🤣

    To wrap up the day … a RTW special dinner at Polo with beautiful views of Gerlache Strait through the rain streaked aft windows as we began the transit north from the Peninsula.
