After lunch Paul had to go back on the Bridge for a few hours and therefore couldn’t come on the zodiac cruise with me.

It was a breathtaking cruise while the ship went up the channel. We saw a seal relaxing on some rocks. Icebergs, sculptured by nature, were picture perfect and photographs cannot do it justice. I felt emotional by the beauty of the surrounds and am grateful to be alive!

When I got back there were some snowy sheathbills on the bow of the ship and one of them looked as if it wanted to come inside the door. Sweet.

The ship is now heading towards Lemaire Channel and hopefully we will be able to pass through the channel if it isn't too iced up. Our destination is Petermann Island.Read more
