"The weather has been perfect, and the wildlife plenty.
The warm late-evening light is beautiful. Especially when mixed with the
calm water, rugged mountains and blue ice.

We walked through a Gentoo colony this morning, and then sailed our
ice-breaker through some of the most spectacular scenery in the world!

Days later:

The weather has changed. It's colder, and heavy overcast.
Still lots of ice and lots of penguins.
We came very close to Antarctic Fur Seal, and Leopard Seals.
They were BIG!

We are on our last day in Antarctica today, before we return to South America via the Drake Passage.

Yesterday was spectacular.
We went through some wonderful ice and saw much wildlife.
We watched Humpback Whales doing "bubble feeding".
The weather is cold, with blowing snow.
Sometimes it is difficult to capture photos.
Although it's harsh, it's still excellent, and beautiful."
