It is hard to explain how big the mountains are in comparison to the ship. |
The mountains tower above us as we pass through the channel. |
The ice underneath the water gives the water a pretty blue color. |
A glacier and some icebergs that have broken off. |
To me this kind of looks like a don lying down with a short wagging tail. |
They've added Day 2's planned trip. The ice pilot on board decides the ultimate route. |
The arrow to the left (curled) shows where we started on Day 2. This is the planned voyage for our time in Antarctica. |
Listen carefully. You can here when an ice sheet breaks off from the glaciers. |
Note the whale's tale (fluke). This humpback is going for a deep dive eating krill. |
Instead of towels, the ship has woolen throws to be used to keep warm. |
Beautiful scenery and beautiful weather. The passengers have been so lucky. |
You can see that the larger part of the iceberg is under the water. |
This is only the second boat we've encountered (excluding the Palmer Station folks). |
