Rolling swells greeted us as we woke this morning in the infamous Drake Passage. This passage stretches over 600 miles and reaches depths over 15,000 feet.
Enticed outdoors or alongside large picture windows by the myriad seabirds surrounding the ship, we enjoyed a smorgasbord of southern ocean wildlife. As the afternoon progressed to early evening we crossed the Antarctic Convergence, the ecological boundary of Antarctica where the warm, subtropical waters of the Indian, Pacific, and Atlantic Oceans meet the cold, polar waters of Antarctica.
Every window and eye was filled with the view of the magnificent wandering albatross and the less common royal albatross soaring by.
