Evening Zodiac Cruise


Last night was the first non-windy, briefly sunny, non-rainy evening, so I found another person to go out in the zodiac with me (you have to travel in pairs, for safety reasons), at 6pm to go for a short cruise. We were quickly rewarded by beautiful images of this iceberg,

penguins hanging out on another large iceberg, and

a large humpback whale who seems interested in our boat for a while. We also saw two of the resident leopard seals, antarctic terns, skuas, kelp gulls, giant petrels, and Wilson's storm petrels. Not bad for a 1.5 hour cruise.
