Harry Island Zodiac Cruise

This morning's expedition landing didn't go ahead. There was lots of ice and fog during the night so the ship had to sail at a slower pace so we were behind schedule. Instead, we sailed straight towards Harry Island for the planned zodiac cruise in the afternoon.

During the cruise we saw a Chinstrap penguin and lots of Gentoo penguins swimming. A whale was spotted by the ship's photographer but it dived before we got there and didn't come up again.

On our way back we saw a leopard seal resting on a bergy bit. He was a really ugly brute. I felt sorry for the penguins because one or two might be its next meal!Read more
