    This is pretty much all we saw on the first dayGot this humpback right before he dove underI am penguin, monarch of all I surveyA penguin rookery we passed with a few thousand scattered as far back as we could seePenguins returning home to the rookeryA massive iceberg we passed. It looked about twice as tall as the ship, which would be ~300 ft.The black dots lower-right are penguins

    Antarctica pt. 1

    January 30, Bransfield Strait ☁️ 37 °F

    We cruised around Antarctica for four days, so I'm splitting this up into two parts. The first day we had pretty low visibility so I didn't get many good photos. But the next few days things cleared up, and it really was spectacular. I've seen mountains and I've seen snow, but the scale of everything here is just beyond belief. Snow pack hundreds of feet deep and icebergs bigger than the ship, it's impossible to convey the enormity of everything. I've tried to capture some of the magic of it all with photos and videos, but they just can't come close to doing it justice, it has to be seen to be believed. And the perfect still silence of everything is something I'll always remember.Read more

    The First Ice

    January 29, Bransfield Strait 🌨 36 °F

    This was the first sea ice we encountered. Almost full time daylight this far south, this was about 10:30 pm. I had just noticed a few floating pieces and then suddenly it was everywhere. Really a cool moment.Read more

    Drake Passage

    January 29, Bransfield Strait 🌬 37 °F

    Crossing from the Drake Passage into Antarctic waters, a notoriously rough section of ocean but something I always wanted to do. This was awesome!

    Cool English-style homesBlue whale jaw bones in front of the churchThe beer is made next door at Falkland BeerworksThese are Gentoo penguin chicksThey just wait around all day for their parents to return from the ocean with foodOn the right is an adult GentooThese are King penguins. Their chicks are still hiding underneath them.Near the penguins was a cafe with a bunch of homemade snacks and tea.We had to take tenders ashore and it got pretty rough waiting to go back to the ship

    Falkland Islands

    January 27 in Falkland Islands 🌬 54 °F

    So glad we got to stop here, the water was pretty rough that day so it was up in the air a bit. Cool remote islands that are a British territory, so feels a bit like England. Lots of penguins and sheep, and about 3700 people.Read more

    There are grills everywhere you lookThey're restoring a lot of their older buildings, this one looks especially coolHad a really great meal here, the owner (?) was very friendlyGrilled sweet potato, chimichurri, like 9 kinds of bread with chicken cheese spread, and local wineBeef and lamb are a huge part of the culture down here, and they definitely know how to cook it

    Montevideo

    January 24 in Uruguay ☀️ 77 °F

    Uruguay was the biggest surprise so far - great place, I'm impressed! Fantastic food and architecture, friendly people, and safe enough to wander around a bit. One downside is it's relatively expensive, but I'd love to come back one day.Read more

    What an amazing city, I had such a great time! I loved the energy, the music, and the people (Cariocas!). Muito obrigado to my guides Rodrigo and Simone, you made my visit truly special.

    Salvation Islands

    January 10 in French Guiana ⛅ 79 °F

    Our stop here at Devil's Island has been canceled unfortunately, so this is as close as we're going to get to this famous French penal colony from the 19th-20th centuries. I was mostly looking forward to the monkeys.

    Next stop is Belém, Brazil 🇧🇷    Read more

    Bridgetown

    January 8 in Barbados ☀️ 84 °F

    Hello from Barbados! Everything's going well so far, had a nice day checking out this south Caribbean island.

    Since I don't have internet on the ship, my posts here will be delayed a bit. I think my routine is going to be to take photos as I visit a place, get back to the ship that night and relax, and then the next day I'll go through the pictures and make a post. But by then we'll usually be back at sea, so I'll have to wait until we get to the following port before I can upload them (unless we stay close to the shore and cell towers).

    Next stop is the Salvation Islands in French Guiana 🇬🇫    Read more
