[Big Trip] A morning in the ice
23 Dec 2006 03:04 pmThe original plan had been to land at Neko Harbour but the end of Andvord Bay was so clogged with ice that the ship couldn't continue so we cruised the bay and set out the little tender boats on 20 minute trips around the icebergs and ice floes. We spotted penguins playing and hunting in the water, seagulls and a crabeater seal dozing on an ice floe. This made more than up for missing Neko Harbour which might have been in clouds, anyway.
The weather is fine but cloudy, just above freezing but there's hardly any wind so it doesn't feel that cold.
