Wilhelmina Bay & Cuverville Island

The Captain successfully managed to get the ship into the sea ice plate and it eventually held. I went out for a walk in the ice and then went back to the cabin. Just as I got in, I got a call from Paul - he was downstairs waiting for me in the mud room, ready to step onto the ice. He had just missed me going inside the ship. So I went down and joined him but we weren't out for very long because of the long queue towards the bow of the ship where people were pulling the rope. One lady had been one of the first outside, dressed in a long fur coat and hat. She was still there towards the time when all the guests had to go inside. I guess she was maybe a social media person...

When the ship arrived at Cuverville Island in the afternoon, decided not to go out. I was very tired and decided to have a nap. I have been off the ship to Cuverville twice before so I probably didn't miss anything.Read more
