Dag 5
Finally reached Antarctica
28. februar 2022, South Atlantic Ocean ⋅ ☁️ 34 °F
After a “smooth” Drake Passage crossing, we saw our first signs of land!
Completed the “Kayak Capability Test” to make make sure we can get in and out of the kayaks from the Zodiacs.
In ~2 hours we get to go on our first Zodiac ride out into Fournier Bay. So excited!
This morning we saw a couple whales, lots of birds, and the first sighting of Penguins. They promise we’ll see a lot more tomorrow. :-)

(Internet is really slow, so I’ll have to wait to upload pics later)Læs mere

First Zodiac excursion!

Went on our first Zodiac outing. Short 45 mins to introduce us to the boat and orient us for future outings.
Amazing view of glaciers, plus many wildlife sightings. Whales, sea lions, birds (oh my!).

Heading to Damoy Point

FYI, no internet tomorrow, so if you don’t see anything from me tomorrow, that’s why.
I’ll still draft Footprints, so keep a lookout for updates when we do get internet again.

Going ashore at Damoy Point
1. marts 2022, Antarktis ⋅ ☁️ 32 °F
First opportunity to step on Antarctica!

Landed at Damoy Point, a rocky isthmus off the west coast of Wiencke Island. There are 2 "huts" on shore. The Bahia Dorian hut, established by the Argentine Navy in 1953, and the British Damoy hut, established by the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) in 1975.
The British Damoy hut was used by the BAS as an air transit station to the Rothera Research Station when not accessible by sea due to ice.

My first up close encounter with penguins did not disappoint. So cute!
A "small" Gentoo Penguin colony with most of the chicks grown and the parents waiting to finish molting.

After their chicks are weened, adult penguins have a "catastrophic molt" (replace all their feathers). Molting can take 3-4 weeks, during this time they lose their insulating and waterproof feathers so they stay away from water.

Daily Briefing Day 2 - Damoy Point
1. marts 2022, Antarktis ⋅ ☁️ 30 °F
Day 2 - Damoy Point (S 64 49’, W 63 31’)
Named after Julien Damoy, a French Entrepreneur and financier of the French Antarctic expedition in 1903-1905, led by Jean Baptist Charcot.
Located in Damoy Bay on the west side of Wiencke Island.
2 historical huts located at the landing point, 1 Argentinian, 1 British. Established by the British Antarctic Survey in Nov 1975.

Landing is on the shore, but the rest of the hike is on snow. 2 places for us to explore, a 220ft high view point or a Gentoo Penguin colony (guess which one is my preference…).

We also have the chance to watch the release of a weather balloon. (My inner scientist is a bit excited for that.)Læs mere
