      Antarctica, Day 3

      February 1, 2020 in Antarctica ⋅ ⛅ 77 °F

      Today's plan is to be in Lemaire Channel, Errera Channel and Charlotte Bay.
      We should have reached Lemaire Channel by 8:00 AM, but by 7:30 AM, the captain announced the Channel is blocked by the too much ice and we will not be able to to get into it. Instead of it we were cruising past beautiful mountains and icebergs.
      By noon we reached Errera Channel.
      The Errera Channel is one of the most beautiful we seen so far in Antarctica. it is pretty long. The only think that was missing is the sun. Today was windy and very cold.
      We saw Chinstrap penguins and whales. Could not stay outside for too long. It was really cold and unusual for us went to afternoon tea to get warm.
      At 4:30 PM we entered Charlotte Bay.
      It was filled with icebergs and humpback whales.
      We went outside few time to take pictures, but by the evening we were too tired and cold to stay outside for long time.
