We started our morning with a double split landing and Zodiac cruise at Detaille Island while Naturalist Conor Ryan gave an informative presentation on krill. The highlight of Detaille Island was Base W, an old research station used during the International Polar Year. We cruised during the afternoon, hearing talks on penguins and ice from Naturalists Mike Rigney and Eric Guth respectively.
During recap, we were interrupted by a large but dispersed group of B2 killer whales who came very close to National Geographic Endurance and put on a beautiful show.
After dinner, we cruised the Fish Islands in the dim and beautiful light of the Antarctic evening.
