We woke to glassy calm waters and white as far as the eye could see, both on land and in the water. Overnight we’d made our way south to the Antarctic Circle and were pushing our way through icy waters, navigating the close islands and a small passage of water called The Gullet to arrive at our afternoon location for operations. We enjoyed a peaceful morning of spotting seals and sea birds.
The afternoon brought incredible sunshine and light winds, as we found clear waters for kayaking and Zodiac cruising. Everyone had an incredible first day in Antarctica!
