We awoke today to a beautiful sunny morning in Neko Harbour. We heard penguins and saw whales from the ship as we began our day. We headed out on our Zodiacs to shore where we met one of our first gentoo penguin colonies. We saw lengthy penguin highways going up to their colonies that sat in front of a very active glacier. While some of us explored from land, others cruised through thick ice where there were humpback whales and seals to be found.
After a delightful morning exploring Neko Harbour, we came back to the ship where the crew had prepared us a delicious lunch. We took a moment to enjoy the glaciers and icebergs as we sailed to our next destination: Cuverville.
When we arrived in Cuverville, we were spoiled again with incredible sunny and still conditions. We headed to shore on Zodiacs where another gentoo penguin colony awaited. The gentoo penguins seemed to go on forever, we were lucky to see many cute and fluffy penguin chicks interacting with their parents as well as a couple of chinstraps who had decided to join.
On board, we enjoyed a special Filippino dinner and incredible crew show to end our last day in Antarctica.
