The day that ended up being so much more than a sea day…
We had set off on our adventure and were all prepared for a day at sea full of things to do aboard the incredible National Geographic Endurance.
After a wonderful breakfast, we were off to the ice lounge to meet the expedition staff. We learned of the careers and pathways that led this knowledgeable team from across the globe to the positions they hold in which they deeply connect us with the incredible locations we will visit on this voyage.
We had presentations throughout the day including, “Life in the Falklands” from Naturalist Josh Peck and Expedition Leader Russ Evans, “Smartphone Photography” from Certified Photo Instructor Chris Cook, and “Seabirds of the South” from Naturalist Mike Greenfelder.
We were given the exciting news from Expedition Leader Russ that there would be a change in our plan, we would be going ashore! This allowed us to visit a gentoo penguin colony in Grave Cove, Falkland Islands. It truly was an adventure as we used the Zodiacs to get to the beach and then explored the stunning area with our naturalists as guides.
