Today has been OMG beautiful! Photos unfortunately just do not convey the magnificence of Antarctica.

This is just a float by, not an expedition. I saw penguins on ice floes and in the water, Weddell and crab eater seals on ice shelves, Minke whales, and a humpback whale barely two metres away from my balcony! Plus research stations and stunning scenery.

Beautiful and brings back great memories. I have several of my Antarctic photos on my wall

I see from Cruise mapper that you've just transited the channel east of Anvers Island that we did 2 years ago, but this time you turned left, not right . Usually a good way to go.

My “office” is heading at 20 knots across the Drake Lake to Ushuaia. Lucky us that the calm conditions persist. It was another amazing morning seeing numerous humpback whales and amazing icebergs.

Early morning:

If only more people did this - except they bundle fish and seafood together and they are very different. Even white fish like whiting is different to salmon

So hypnotic watching people work.

Been doing the watching people work at my office today, CBR. It is very therapeutic.

And a nice view at the end of the day
